Hi there, I'm Darrian! I'm a licensed clinical social worker with a Master's in Clinical Social Work from Southern University at New Orleans and a Doctor of Social Work degree from Tulane University. My therapeutic approach prioritizes the overall mental well-being of my clients. I specialize in treating individuals with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and attention deficit symptoms. My approach My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) - helping clients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors; Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) - focusing on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness; Psychodynamic Therapy - exploring unconscious patterns and past experiences influencing present behavior; Person-Centered Therapy - emphasizing empathy, unconditional positive regard, and client empowerment; and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) - encouraging clients to build on strengths and find practical solutions. I tailor my approach to meet each client's unique needs and goals. My focus I enjoy working with clients committed to personal growth and open to exploring new perspectives. My practice focuses on individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and attention deficit symptoms. I appreciate working with those ready to engage in self-reflection, develop coping strategies, and take meaningful steps toward improving mental well-being. Whether navigating life transitions, managing overwhelming emotions, or seeking clarity, I strive to provide the guidance and support clients need to thrive. My communication style Working with me is a collaborative and supportive experience. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered.
