Welcome to your path to well-being! I'm Daija, your dedicated outpatient therapist. With a Bachelor's in Psychology from Virginia State University and a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University, I bring both academic knowledge and real-life experience to our therapeutic journey. My journey as an outpatient therapist is not just built on academic achievement but also enriched by real-life experiences and a profound desire to make a difference. I've had the privilege of working in the mental health field, assisting clients from diverse backgrounds. My experience spans across both children and adults, and throughout my career, I have adopted a holistic and client-centered approach, drawing from various focused-based therapies to provide the most effective and tailored treatment. I believe in the power of therapeutic alliances, where you and I work collaboratively to build a secure and non-judgmental space for you to explore your emotions, thoughts, and experiences. Whether you are a child or an adult, my therapeutic toolbox includes evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). These approaches, among others, will be woven into your individualized treatment plan to help you achieve your unique goals. Your well-being is my top priority, regardless of your age, and together, we will work to empower you with the tools to overcome life's challenges and embrace a brighter future. I look forward to meeting you and being a part of your incredible journey towards mental and emotional well-being.
