Getting to know Deanna Folsom

I’ve spent over 30 years helping people of all ages work through life’s challenges—whether it’s anxiety, grief, family struggles, or past trauma. Lately, I’ve become especially passionate about supporting those in high stress, helping professionals who carry a lot of emotional weight from their work. My goal is to offer a safe, down-to-earth space where clients feel understood, supported, and ready to move forward. My approach My approach to therapy is grounded, flexible, and deeply client-centered. While I often work from a structured framework or treatment plan, I believe it’s just as important to meet clients exactly where they are—emotionally, mentally, and practically. Every individual comes with a unique story, so I take time to listen, understand, and tailor each session to their specific needs and goals. Whether someone needs a space to process, practical tools to move forward, or support navigating a difficult transition, I adjust my approach to ensure the care they receive truly fits. My focus I work with clients across the lifespan, but I have a special passion for supporting middle and high school students, young adults in their twenties, older adults, and those in helping professions who often carry the emotional weight of others. I’ve also worked with many children and teens navigating the emotional complexities of divorce and family change. Whether it’s managing stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, or deeper emotional struggles, I offer a supportive space for reflection, healing, and growth. I’m open to working with individuals of all ages who are facing life’s challenges and seeking clarity, connection, or simply a place to be heard. My communication style My communication style is laid-back, warm, and approachable. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, respected, and free to express themselves without judgment.
