Deanne Acton

Hi there, I'm Deanne!

My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make positive changes in their lives. Whether you're seeking help for personal growth, navigating relationships, or managing mental health concerns, I am here to guide you on your journey to wellness.

My focus

I typically work with middle-aged to senior women on anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, and interpersonal relationships.

My approach

My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each patient I work with. I most frequently utilize Person-centered, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused, and ACT. I like to collaborate with clients on their goals for therapy.

My communication style

My sessions are collaborative, and we spend a lot of time working together through homework with a more structured type of session. I create a safe space to share and work to empower clients.

My journey to mental healthcare

I enjoy working with others and assisting them in navigating through their concerns.

My goals for you

We work together on their goals and revisit this together to see what seems to be working and where we need to try new strategies.

Our first session

The first session is an intake where background information is gathered. I give a short introduction to who I am and what therapy sessions look like, and give you time to ask questions and express any concerns or worries you have related to therapy.
