Getting to know Deanna Hudgins

Hi there, I'm Deanna! Like many, I chose to shift careers later in life-call it a "third act"-to a professional path in mental health. I earned my Master's in Clinical Psychology from Azusa Pacific University, which has deepened my understanding and skills in this field. My previous careers in both the arts and physical fitness have cultivated my personal approach to therapy-one that emphasizes collaboration, empowerment, and unconditional regard for each client's unique perspective and concerns. My approach I am trained extensively in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and strive to blend this and other evidence-based practices with creativity, openness, and respect for each person's experience. I am grateful to walk alongside clients as a co-navigator and co-learner, and I delight in the synergy and alchemy that can result from meaningful and intentional work, both in and outside of sessions. My focus Often, we know what we want out of life, but we find that things can get in the way-including "big" emotions, impulses, unhelpful thoughts, and behaviors that result. My focus in sessions is to create a welcoming and nonjudgmental space where we can establish the elements of our own "life worth living" as well as a structured, skills-based approach for both accepting exactly where we are AND working toward sustainable and effective change. My communication style During our sessions, you can expect a direct, open-minded, and curious approach. I strive to meet clients exactly where they are, with warmth and a nonjudgmental stance.
