Getting to know Dereka Ross

My career path began in the retail/wholesale industry, which created a path for me in therapy. I've worked in roles in ministry, education, and leadership, and have immersed myself in critical race theory, history, and the Black experience. I've worked with a wide range of clients of different races, cultures, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Much of my confidence in working with people from all walks of life was inspired by my upbringing. I grew up a military brat, which made me more social and adaptable. I understand trauma does not escape the human experience, but effort and will are the ingredients for healing and transformation. My approach is rooted in person-centered therapy and CBT, though I have grown into a more eclectic practice that allows for broader interventions and coping strategies. More recently, I have integrated Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic experiencing, and EMDR techniques to best meet each client where they are.
