Getting to know Darren Porter

I am dual credentialed in mental health and substance abuse and have worked in this field since 1997. I am passionate about helping individuals "to be the best versions of themselves." I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lakeland University (Madison Center). My therapeutic approaches include DBT, CBT, Person-centered therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I focus on adults 18+ struggling with anxiety, PTSD, depression, ADHD, and bipolar disorder. My communication style is rooted in active listening, inspiring hope and confidence. I am easygoing and aim to create a space that feels like having a conversation with someone you trust. My journey to mental healthcare began with a passion for helping others by actively listening and inspiring them to reach their potential. I believe, "Don’t let life happen, make life happen." My goals for you are client-driven; I encourage you to set S.M.A.R.T. goals, and together, we work as a team to motivate and achieve them. In our first session, I prioritize building trust, establishing a good connection, and showing empathy so you know you matter and that I want the best for you.
