Therapists in Abilene, TX

I enjoy working with clients who are committed to improving their lives. Sometimes family issues get in the way, both from the past and currently. Being stuck in traumatic memories or living in difficult circumstances makes life hard. I enjoy seeing families together to help them improve communication and to build closer relationships. Couples who invest therapy time into their relationship, report increased feelings of closeness and happiness in their lives. I am an AAMFT Approved Supervisor for MFT Interns and Associates. I enjoy helping MFT Trainees to improve their therapy skills to help others.

UPDATE: I will be offering in person therapy as of June 1 2024 but may start before that time. I work with individuals with a wide range of issues from stress, depression, anxiety, trauma related disorders, and are just looking for a change. To book with me directly, check out my website by clicking on "website" on this page which also outlines more of my specialties and experience. I believe people in general intend to live their best lives but it's easy to lose sight of what that means when we get busy at work or tragedy hits. It's common and normal for these situations to require some guidance, support, and maybe a good laugh.

Being an amazing black female therapist means embracing diversity and promoting inclusivity. It means acknowledging the unique struggles that marginalized communities face and actively working to provide support, understanding, and healing. It means using my platform to advocate for equality, justice, and mental health awareness. My goal is to break down barriers and stigmas surrounding mental health within the black community and to provide accessible and culturally sensitive care.

I have a passion for working with youth who are navigating trauma, anxiety, identity, substance use, and other mental health issues. I'm specifically honored to serve LGBTQiA+ folks as a proud member of the queer community myself. I love helping anyone tap into their autonomy, self-love, find their strengths, and accomplish their goals. I practice harm reduction, which helps people determine how to do what they want to do (whether that be coming out as transgender or non-binary, building community, sexual exploration, drug use, etc.) to their own level of comfort and safety at their own pace.

Hello, my name is Delelah, but you can call me DeeDee. I have spent my career working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I enjoy working with those who struggle with anger, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, and trauma. My goal is to help others in creating their own sense of healthy emotional expression, improve communication skills, strengthen conflict management, and to empower clients to create the best version of themselves and build the life they want.
