Desiree Thomas-Layugan

My communication style

My style is warm, kind, and open. I bring genuine curiosity and positive regard to each session, creating a space where you feel respected and valued. I listen attentively and adjust my approach to ensure you feel truly heard, understood, and supported.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been someone others turn to for support and guidance. Through helping those around me and navigating my own growth, I realized becoming a therapist aligned deeply with my values. It's an honor to walk alongside clients as they move toward healing and change.

My goals for you

We'll collaborate to set goals that are meaningful to you. Whether you're seeking personal growth, emotional healing, or relationship improvements, I partner with you every step of the way to work toward lasting, positive change.

Our first session

It's normal to feel curious and a bit nervous. Our first session is about helping you feel comfortable as we build trust and understanding. We'll take things at your pace, talk about what brings you to therapy, and explore your goals for our work together.
