Therapist

If you're feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, the effects of trauma, or the quiet exhaustion of carrying too much on your own, you don't have to face it alone. I'm here to help you find steadier ground.


I'm Darryl Webster, a licensed therapist with 35 years of experience in mental and behavioral health. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life's heavier seasons—including those caring for someone they love. My approach draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness—practical, evidence-based tools you can actually use, paired with a warm and unhurried space to be heard.


Together, we'll work at your pace to ease what's overwhelming you and help you move toward greater balance, resilience, and a sense of purpose. Whatever you're facing, healing is possible, and I'd be glad to walk alongside you.
