Do you desire to try new things and be committed to finding what works for you?  Do you want relief from what you are struggling with daily? Your goals start short term, to gain confidence in the changes to your life. You would complete homework-based therapy outside of a session.

Are you ready to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to improve your well-being by being open to asking tough questions, tackling big issues, and pursuing outcomes with perseverance? My goal is to provide support in improving relationships, managing stress, overcoming trauma, adopting healthier coping skills, & embracing fulfilling life options. My 15 years of clinical experience as a racial/ethnic minority practitioner has allowed me to cultivate expertise to assist racial/ethnic minority groups.

Making the decision to seek help and support can be a difficult step, especially when life is challenging and stressful. Mental health issues and poor relationships aren’t something to be afraid of or ignored but are areas where one can discover hidden strengths and opportunities for growth. I desire to build a trusting support system with you and work collaboratively to find realistic goals for healing. As a counselor, I am genuine and caring when listening and providing support to my clients. I desire to offer hope and encouragement toward healing.

I enjoy working with clients who may be struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, emotional management, poor self-esteem, experiencing grief and loss; who are motivated and open to change and doing homework, and who desire to be a healthier version of themselves.

Everyone deserves the chance to heal and become their best self. I want to help support you on that journey. Together we will see the challenging impacts on your life and how those are showing up for you today. I want to help you rediscover your voice and help you remember that you are enough. I believe in an empowerment lens and use that in my approach when working with individuals. I am identity-affirming and trauma-informed in my practice.

Are you struggling with managing mental health disorders and seeking a compassionate, experienced therapist?

I am a licensed professional counselor that has been working in behavioral health for over 20 years. I am a lifelong resident of South Jersey and obtained my Bachelors and Masters degrees from La Salle University in Philadelphia.

Being born and raised in the Detroit Michigan area, and having lived in several other cities in Michigan, Ohio, and Washington State has given me an appreciation of the wonder and beauty of diversity. Before I was able to attend college to be what I really wanted to be in life, I worked as an auto mechanic, painter, and crane operator in a steel mill.

As the founder of Stella Luna Counseling and Wellness Center (SL), I honor your desire to begin or continue along your therapeutic journey. I understand that aligning with your therapist is essential in establishing a deep connection with your work, and will motivate you to come to therapy more regularly to authentically explore the challenges that are coming up for you. I create a space where clients are encouraged to become the observer of their life experience, safely process their feelings and vulnerabilities, and tap into their truth. At SL, we specialize in trauma, and offer psychedelic assisted psychotherapy.

In my sessions I prioritize creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel empowered to explore their emotions and experiences. My approach is empathetic and client-centered, focusing on guiding clients towards their goals while also providing the necessary encouragement and push when avoidance hinders progress. I love working with couples, adults, and older teens, using a variety of therapeutic modalities tailored to each individual's needs.

Hi! I'm Dereka. I enjoy working with individuals, families and couples of all ages focusing on a wide array of areas such as depression, anxiety, grief, perinatal, trauma, family conflict, relationships, stress management, work stressors, financial concerns, social anxiety, self-esteem and navigating medical diagnosis. I enjoy helping my clients find their inner voice, create healthy boundaries, overcome debilitating fears and build confidence and communication skills. I want to help you goal plan to elicit positive changes and focus on interpersonal work.

When we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change. I will offer you a safe space to learn to see things differently. Whether in-person or virtually, we will work together to identify negative patterns that keep you unable to move forward. Life is difficult so why should we do it alone? It would be my honor to help you find healing and restoration in your life.

Are you feeling depressed and/or anxious? Do you have stress in your life, difficulties in your relationship, low self-esteem?
