I’ve always done virtual sessions with Derek, and they’ve always been great. Coming up on a year with sessions every two or three weeks. For the first time in 20+ of struggling with depression, addiction, and undiagnosed behavior disorders I feel like I am on top of things and am starting take more and more control of my life.
Derek balances a personal, thoughtful approach with a profound understanding of the role and impact of the medications he prescribes (or doesn’t).
I think the biggest way Derek has helped me to grow is how he gently pushes back whenever I begin to talk in absolutes- “I’m always…” or “My wife never…”, or even “I can’t…”. He highlights where the limits are and helps me to take notice of the times when things I feel like are absolute, are in fact not.

Derek's focus is always what is happening with the patient - are they eating, sleeping? Ears wide open, he listens to the challenges the patient is facing, and talk through a plan to get through those that are comfortable for the patient. Providing back and forth feedback to support the patient in being ready for their daily lives. I have been seeing Derek since my husband passed away 6 years ago. My father just passed away. His empathy and encouragement helps me navigate what I am going through, feelings, and action plans for reaching an outcome that is important to me.
HMVerified patient
Derek is great! In addition to his clinical acuity and responsiveness, he is also very insightful and action-oriented. He remains up-to-date on evidence based practice research and also has a fantastic sense of humor! I highly recommend him to anyone who is serious about integrated health and wellness.
SSVerified patient
Derek has a welcoming and approachable way about him. He takes his time and listens to me to personalize my treatment. He also has a lot of experience which makes me feel confident in his care. The practice is small and very responsive to my calls and texts for anything I need. I highly recommend Derek for medication management and therapy.
JJVerified patient
Derek is a knowledgeable, professional, and personable caregiver. He listens intently, asks great questions, and provides helpful suggestions and plans to help manage my issues. His understanding and assessment of my problems have given me great insight and relief. I recommend him highly.
