Getting to know Dejanae Mccarthy

Hi there, I'm Dejanae! You can call me Deja! To me therapy is the vulnerable practice of sharing your story with someone who is listening, holding, and honoring all of who you are and what you're carrying. I want to empower you towards healing, acceptance, and change. My focus I am looking to support my community through navigating feelings of imposter syndrome, stress, burnout, anxiety, grief and loss, or perfectionism. I am no stranger to these things and want to support you in your healing journey. It is hard work, but you don't have to do it alone. My approach I often use several modalities like CBT, DBT, and themes from IFS to support understanding and meet you where you're at. I will gear the session towards your needs and desired outcomes. We work as a team so you get the most out of our time together. My communication style My tone is non-judgmental curiosity and I encourage you to use that tone with yourself! I also utilize humor. To me connection is the basis of communication, so the more rapport and connection we have, the more ease in our communication. I am occasionally direct when I see it is needed and we have connected enough for that. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist came from my own upbringing navigating hardships and seeing how important community was in overcoming and building my resilience. I want to be community to others in the therapy space, to equip and empower you to overcome! My goals for you I ask that you come to the first session with treatment goals in mind. We can workshop them together, but to me your readiness for therapy also comes from knowing what you want to get out of it. I use your goals as a guide to know if we are on the right track and to assess progress. Our first session In the first session, you tell me everything that feels important to know about you. I tell you about your rights and confidentiality. We identify goals and how we want to work together.
