My name is Dr. Deginesh Worku or Dr. Dee. I’m a licensed mental health therapist with over 28 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families. I work with people dealing with anxiety, depression, communication problems, trauma and life transitions ( e.g., adoption, immigration, divorce, loss, etc.) which can all cause overwhelming feelings leaving you unbalanced. I also specialize in cross-cultural / multicultural dynamics understanding the impact culture has on the way we navigate and process behaviors. I hope to create a supportive and safe environment to help you move towards your desired goals.
Depression, Anxiety, Anger and Stress Management. Conflict Resolution, Parenting skills, Couples and Family Counseling, Sexual orientation, Relationships, Grief Counseling, Eating Disorders, and many more. As a professional who got the highest degree while raising children I understand the challenges and can help empower my clients to not give up hope.
I understand the issues regarding diversity, adoption and discrimination for any number of reasons. My service is also unique because I am a Christian and a counselor who is able to reconcile some of the "contradictions" people feel when they face challenges in their lives, if they choose to talk about it.
