Since 2000, I’ve helped people break through the obstacles that seem to be holding them back in life. Life's too short to be unhappy, unsure, or unfulfilled. Let me help you recognize and develop better ways to handle the issues that are standing in the way of your goals. If you are seeking a private and relaxed setting where you can leave each session with practical skills and/or information that you can apply in your everyday life, then I am the counselor for you. I also offer quick turn around times for appointments and you will not have to wait in an overcrowded and loud waiting area prior to your appointment.

When you are overwhelmed and not sure that you are giving your best to your work, relationships and family, the self doubt can be overwhelming. Maybe you feel misunderstood. Through, the "Gentle Listening" of therapy I provide, you can feel cared for and decrease your anxiety, as you face difficult decisions. In time, you can again find joy in the little things, feel love in your relationships, satisfaction in your career and peace with your children. I believe we all have our own answers, but sometimes we need to have someone help us find them. I am always honored when I am that person.

Hello, my name is Deja Jackson and I have been a therapist since February 2021. Person-centered, interpersonal, mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are some therapeutic methods I utilize to help clients overcome struggles they may be having. Self-care is a big part of my practice, because I believe it can be difficult to care for others in our lives, when we are not caring for ourselves properly. I like to encourage my client to enforce boundaries they believe they need in their lives, understand the importance of compromise and when it is appropriate, and maintain mindfulness of needs and emotions.

Are you struggling with intrusive thoughts that are distressing, disturbing, or confusing and you're noticing that getting rid of these thoughts are very difficult, despite your many efforts? You may be struggling with obsessive-compulsive disorder. OCD is one of the most misdiagnosed mental illnesses and can also be one of the most debilitating. This is why I've devoted my practice to understanding and effectively treating OCD. OCD is much bigger than handwashing and straightening pictures on the wall. If you believe you may be struggling with OCD, reach out and we can determine together.
