Deandra Calvin, LPC — Therapist in Tennessee

Hi there, I'm Deandra!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a mental health specialty. I typically apply the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)framework during therapy. I strongly believe that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected and that they influence our worldview.

My focus

I primarily work with adolescents and adult women. Anxiety, depression, life adjustments, and PTSD are conditions that I work with most often.

My approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is my preferred therapeutic approach. It helps identify and solve specific problems, rather than talking about life in general. CBT allows me to take a collaborative approach with clients where we work together to find solutions as opposed to attempting to tell the client what they should do.

My communication style

My communication style is mostly collaborative, where information is exchanged, and topics are discussed to achieve a common goal. I also lean toward an assertive communication style, allowing space for authentic expression while maintaining respect for all.

My journey to mental healthcare

I believe that there are few things more fulfilling than witnessing a person experience growth and healing.

My goals for you

When working with clients on goal setting, I follow a structured yet flexible approach to ensure the goals are meaningful, achievable, and aligned with the client's values and needs.

Our first session

You can expect to learn about my preferred therapeutic approach and professional training. I'll review informed consent, practice policies, as well as cancellation and communication procedures. You'll express your needs and we'll work together to formulate therapeutic goals.
