Adelle Deriquito

My communication style

Clients describe me as warm, grounded, and insightful. I strive to balance compassion with clarity, offering a nonjudgmental presence while also helping you challenge old narratives and make sense of complex emotions. Sessions often feel collaborative and reflective, with space for both depth and humor.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path began with a deep interest in human development and the ways early experiences shape who we become. After earning my Master’s in Clinical Professional Counseling from Northwestern University, I trained in trauma-informed and attachment-based approaches, including EMDR. My work is inspired by a belief in the mind’s capacity to heal when met.

Progress is measured not only by symptom relief but by increased self

Our first session

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other and discuss what’s bringing you to therapy now. I’ll ask about your goals, current challenges, and past experiences to better understand your story. You can expect a calm, supportive environment where we set intentions for your healing journey and begin mapping out a plan that feels right for.
