I believe that each person is the expert of their own life. At times, however, navigating challenges, life transitions, relationships, or emotional struggles can feel overwhelming, and having a supportive, objective person to talk to can make a meaningful difference.

My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, I am committed to helping you build insight, resilience, and confidence while working toward your personal goals.

I care about meeting you where you are, whether you're working through anxiety, depression, or the challenges of addiction. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard and supported from our very first conversation. I take time to understand what matters most to you, and I build a plan together with you rather than handing you a one size fits all approach. Therapy and treatment work best when you feel like an active partner in your own care, and that is exactly the kind of relationship I aim to build with every person I work with.

As a warm, open-minded, and empowering therapist, I am dedicated to helping adults and families navigate life's most complex challenges. I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling and bring a robust professional background working across diverse clinical settings, specializing in treating anxiety, sleep disorders, identity exploration, relationships, and bipolar disorders. In my practice, I frequently serve populations navigating cultural or ethnic issues, men’s issues, and individuals healing from trauma or substance abuse. On a personal note, my commitment to mental health stems from my own lived experiences navigating difficult life transitions, which gives me a genuine, human understanding of how intimidating it can be to take this first step toward healing.

I am a certified mental health and family practice provider. I value you as a person, your confidentiality and your determination. Together we can make a difference

Hello, I’m DeAnn Thompson, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in anxiety, depression, work-related stress, and burnout.

I work with busy adults who may be keeping up with work and everyday responsibilities while privately feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or simply not like themselves.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and personalized, combining thoughtful psychiatric care and medication management to help you feel better, regain balance, and improve your overall well-being.

• Enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, family and marriage populations.
• For past several years I have worked in both private and public school settings.
• Hold a certification in both Trauma and Christian Counseling.

I have been a psychotherapist in private practice for about forty years. After receiving my MSW, I felt I needed additional training to work effectively with clients. I studied psychoanalysis for three years, and I received a certificate in psychoanalytic oriented psychotherapy. It was extremely helpful because of the intensive supervision I received.

Struggling with Anxiety Depression Trauma or OCD symptoms? I view these struggles not as flaws, but as deeply human responses to our life experiences. You possess an innate capacity for healing. Our work is a true partnership built on unconditional warmth and safety. We move at your unique pace, honoring your voice every step of the way. I offer a safe, gentle, and collaborative space for your personal healing without judgment. Together, we will untangle the past, reclaim your inner strength, and help you live as your true, authentic self.

Hello,

It's a pleasure to meet you.

As a social worker I believe prioritizing mental health is key to an individual's ability to live a productive life. We all need support at some point in our lives, so thank you for taking the first step on the road to empowerment. I have provided individual and group therapy to adults for the past eight years.
