Getting to know Derrick Sykes

Hi, I'm Derrick. With 14 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am passionate about helping you navigate life's challenges and achieve your personal goals. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Carl Rogers' Self-Concept, and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). I encourage my clients to reflect on their past selves and envision who they aspire to become in the future. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients. As someone with a physical disability, I have a unique perspective and have served as a disability advocate. My professional journey includes working with individuals facing personality disorders, substance abuse disorders, and those involved in HIV and STI prevention. Additionally, I've supported children and adults in Drug Court, helping them find their path to recovery and growth. I specialize in working with the LGBTQIA+ community, and I am fluent in Spanish, which allows me to connect with a broader range of clients. My goal is to help you address your trauma and become the best version of yourself. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, anger management, or relationship issues, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Licensed in Missouri and Georgia, I am ready to work with you to create a brighter future. Let's get to work and embark on this journey together!
