Getting to know Derek Thompson

I’m passionate about helping clients rediscover purpose, joy, and functionality. Witnessing your growth and resilience is what drives me. Let’s work together to explore your concerns and create practical solutions for a more fulfilling life. My integrative approach draws from evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered techniques, mindfulness, and EMDR, tailored to meet you where you are.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to supporting adults through a wide range of challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, obsessive-compulsive disorder, relationship issues, self-esteem, sleep difficulties, men’s and women’s issues, trauma, PTSD, impulse and control disorders, and personal growth. My integrative approach draws from evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered techniques, mindfulness, and EMDR, tailored to meet you where you are.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In our first sessions, you’ll find a warm, nonjudgmental space designed to feel both comfortable and productive. My holistic approach considers the whole person—mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and lifestyle factors—while incorporating trauma-informed care, personalized strategies, and innovative tools to foster lasting change.

    Derek is a great counselor. He is calm and professional. His support is helpful and instructive, giving us tools we need. I highly recommend him.
    I saw Derek when I was trying to heal from some serious post partum anxiety mixed with some childhood trauma. One gift that Derek has is the ability to ask the right questions to help you see things more clearly and rationally. He’s good at educating the “why” behind my troubles so I could rebuild my life with correct priciples and clarity. He gave me the tools I needed to get through the hard days. I’ve carried that knowledge and tools with me in my everyday life and looking back I can see just how far I’ve come. Highly recommend!!
    Derek is extremely insightful. He helped work through tough relationship and family issues with me. He offers guided on point practical ideas and advice. He asks questions that helped me get to the core of problems and then helped me map out steps that were not only realistic, but we’re successful! He has also been very helpful working through interactions I have at work as an executive leader. Thank you Derek
    Derek is welcoming, kind, and always makes our couples sessions feel safe and neutral! Wonderful provider and definitely recommend!
    Derek was an excellent therapist for me for over 2 years. He was always very receptive, engaging, and truly listened to me. He would ask informed questions to challenge my existing views and would offer tools and solutions for me to improve my relationships with the people most important to me. I'd highly recommend him!
    It was a nice first session for us. Thank you

    Verified patient
    Derek is a great listener and is able to manage the conversation in our couples therapy sessioms really well. He is thoughtful and insightful and his bedside manner is great. Sessions with him are a really useful use of our time.
    very helpful
    Im looking forward to our next meeting.
    Derrick is great very smart and I can tell he takes his time to think and reapond to what ai am talking about before just saying the first thing that comes to mind. Its a nice feeling knowing he will take his time and make sure the right things are being said in the right way.
    Derek is very knowledgeable, helpful and supportive. He provides tools and compassionate understanding to support goals and effective plans for progress.
    Derek has been so patient and understanding. He's been incredibly attentive to our needs and makes us feel comfortable. In just a few sessions, we've learned so much.
    It was fine. I'm not that into therapy and wish you all had therapists other than social workers as I'm not that comfortable working with a social worker. But Derek was patient and understanding, I'm going to give him a shot.
    Too early to tell.
