Getting to know Dereck Dean

Hi, and welcome! I’m truly glad you’re here. My approach is straightforward, grounded in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), but always personalized—because life isn’t one-size-fits-all. In our work, we’ll focus on how your thoughts, emotions, and actions connect—giving you practical tools to shift patterns that may be holding you back. Expect honesty, warmth, and a focus on what’s doable. We’ll break things down into manageable steps—small wins that lead to big change. My role is to support you in understanding your experiences and building the life you want—whether that’s tackling anxiety, working through relationship patterns, or just finding more peace day to day. If you’re ready to explore your inner world with curiosity and some solid tools, we’ll make a great team. Let’s grow from here!

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
