Ms. Dery also treats OCD, addictions, challenges with medical management, serious and persistent mental health issues.

Treatment approach

A session with me feels like a warm, collaborative conversation in a safe, non-judgmental space. We start by checking in on your week and reviewing any strategies you tried. Then, we focus on your current goals, using tools like CBT or Solution-Focused therapy to unpack challenges and build practical coping skills. You will leave each session feeling truly heard, supported, and equipped with a clear plan for relief.

Strengths

Clients most often appreciate my deeply empathetic, integrative, and personalized approach. They share that they feel truly heard and understood rather than forced into a one-size-fits-all mold. They value how I blend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, & Solution Focused.

Interests & hobbies

Outside of therapy, I love exploring new places through traveling. I also enjoy spending time with animals, arts and crafts, and volunteering.
