Clinical Mental Health Counselor
Hi, my name is Derna, and I am a Clinical Mental Health Counselor at our Chelsea clinic. I have experience working with diverse populations across a variety of settings, including primary care, hospitals, community-based programs, and outpatient clinics. I work with adolescents, adults, and families, supporting clients through a range of emotional and life challenges.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and client-centered, incorporating humor and a strength-based perspective
As a counselor, I value meeting clients where they are and supporting them as they take the first step toward counseling.
I believe you are the expert in your own life and, with the right support, have the ability to create meaningful change. My approach is tailored to your individual needs, with a focus on self-care, work-life balance, recognizing your strengths, and supporting you in becoming your most authentic self.
If you are experiencing stress, feeling overwhelmed, or seeking support through life’s challenges, I am here to help. Together, we can create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to navigate challenges and work toward meaningful growth.
