Dr. Deonka Winn

Dr. Deonka Winn

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate in Social Work, and I bring both clinical expertise and real life understanding into the therapy space. My professional background includes years of direct clinical practice as well as leadership roles in complex, high stress systems, including serving as a Mental Health Director. These experiences have shaped my ability to support individuals who are navigating pressure, responsibility, and emotional overwhelm while still being expected to function at a high level.

I work best with clients who are strong on the outside but struggling internally. Many of the people I support are women, mothers, professionals, caregivers, and helpers who are used to showing up for others while neglecting their own emotional needs. I have a particular passion for working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, burnout, life transitions, relationship stress, identity concerns, and trauma related to past or ongoing stressors.

Therapy with me is not about having all the answers. It is about learning how to trust yourself, set healthy boundaries, and show up for your life with more compassion and confidence.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Are you the person who keeps it all together but you're exhausted doing it? I specialize in substance abuse, anxiety, burnout, and depression. Many of my patients spent decades being told they were fine, just anxious, just disorganized, just needed to try harder. They weren't. They needed the right evaluation and the right support.

I offer telehealth psychiatric care across Washington State. Most patients are seen within 1–2 weeks. I accept Cigna, Aetna, Quest Behavioral Health, and Carolina plans.

If you're ready to stop managing symptoms alone and start actually understanding your brain, I'd love to work with you.
