Deanna Kerr, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Deanna!

I believe that a warm therapeutic relationship grounded in unconditional positive regard empowers clients to navigate anxiety, self-doubt, and life transitions with greater confidence, connection, and emotional well-being.

My focus

Feeling overwhelmed by trauma, anxiety, or self-doubt? I help individuals process difficult experiences, build resilience, and develop healthier coping skills to create a more meaningful life.

My approach

I use ACT and EMDR to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can process difficult experiences, build resilience, and feel more grounded and connected to your values.

My communication style

I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you can process difficult experiences, build resilience, and feel more grounded and connected to your values.”

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy began with an interest in how people develop well-being and thrive after surviving trauma. I’m passionate about helping others build resilience, heal, and create meaningful change in their lives.

My goals for you

I see therapy as a collaborative process where we work together to heal from painful experiences, navigate difficult emotions, and build emotional resilience. Our work will focus on helping you develop healthier ways to relate to your thoughts and feelings while creating meaningful change aligned with your values and goals.

Our first session

Your first session is a chance for us to build a supportive connection and explore your goals for therapy. Together, we’ll discuss how I can support you in a way that feels comfortable and collaborative.
