Delsa Johnson-Waddell

My communication style

I'm direct and value open, honest communication. I accept you as you are and support your goals for treatment and life. I reflect back what I'm hearing about your mental and emotional state and offer practical, compassionate ways to communicate more healthily with yourself and others.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am a compassionate healer who turned personal trauma into a path of understanding and service. I have spent years studying people and learning techniques that support recovery. I offer grounded, practical guidance shaped by lived experience—helping people feel seen, understood, and empowered on their own healing journeys.

My goals for you

I help people move toward stability by turning their vision for life into clear, achievable steps using both long- and short-term goals, then focus on practical, short-term actions that move you forward. Using a variety of techniques, I help shift perspective so new ways of acting and feeling become possible.

Our first session

I'm a warm, steady therapist who believes the first session is an important chance for us to connect and set the tone for your care. We'll start by talking about your background and what brings you to therapy, and I'll listen to understand where you are now. Therapy is a process and I'll guide you through each step at a pace that feels safe.
