Deshisha Holton

My communication style

I create a safe client-led environment; my perspective is that the client and I are a team working together. When working with me, you will feel like you are talking to your best friend who accepts you and happens to be a mental health provider and responds with therapeutic techniques and humor.

My journey to mental healthcare

I wanted to be a social worker since I was in 9th grade. After graduating from college, I worked in community case management, inpatient mental health crises, and hospitals. I am motivated to see people overcome challenges and live a fulfilled life.

My goals for you

Goal setting is based on the client's perspective and desired outcomes and strengths. We will develop goals together that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-limited.

Our first session

The first session is a time for us to get to know each other. You will have the opportunity to share your thoughts and concerns and what you hope to accomplish with therapy, as well as your family dynamics and your values. We will also start to formulate goals.
