Declan Murphy

My communication style

I speak calmly. It is an open environment to say what needs to be said without judgment. My goal is to lead you to the core of your being, not the core of my being.

My journey to mental healthcare

I remember being riveted by any movie scene that had therapy. I noticed I became very interested in any class that touched on the topic of therapy or mental health. After giving it some careful thought and gaining experience helping others through life challenges, I pursued the education to become a therapist and have thoroughly enjoyed the work.

My goals for you

I ask questions with a desire for you to set the goal. I offer additional items, with you having the final vote. Many sessions have therapy handouts emailed to you. Having a screen to pull up the emails helps, along with a notebook to write notes.

Our first session

I ask questions. I work with you to name the problem, with the belief, name it to tame it. I offer ideas of what could be missing, but ask what you think to make sure we agree. Then, we try to add that into your life through the therapy session or by actions taken outside of therapy or with homework.

I identify as...

• Male
• Caucasian or White
