Hi, I’m Deana
I am the owner of Adaptive Counseling and Consulting LLC and a Licensed Professional Counselor.
I’m passionate about working with adults healing from trauma, individuals and couples navigating relationship challenges, and athletes hitting a mental blocks impacting their sport performance.
As an AZ native, I love working with others in the state to support them in addressing unresolved experiences to develop a stronger and more adaptive mental state. Bringing EMDR into sessions supports the mind and body to feel less activated and more connected as life brings unpredictable events your way.
The work I focus on with couples includes rebuilding a close bond by learning to discuss hurts and while staying connected so each partner feels heard, seen, and loved. When working with athletes, we get to clear out any mental blocks impacting performance, build confidence, and stay calm under pressure.
My therapeutic approaches include Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).
To work with me, start with scheduling a free 15-minute consultation. Schedule that at the link below!
