Mental wellness is an internal resource that helps us think, feel, connect, and function. It is an active process that helps us build resilience, grow and flourish.

I believe therapy provides an opportunity to explore our mental wellness and the experiences, and beliefs that are impactful to our internal resources.

Often clients are seeking an opportunity to develop an understanding of how the past impacts their current situations. They would like to develop new healthful skills that are rooted in mental wellness.

We work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues providing services that span from therapy for depression and self-esteem to work and career issues, pandemic-related issues, and beyond. In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, we offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of our client's individual needs to help attain the personal growth they’re striving for.

Meet Deonne

I have an appreciation of the complexity of the human experience, which is why I started Lava Counseling as a therapy practice designed to create authentic and culturally relevant interventions to foster flourishing. 

I am trained in narrative therapy, mindfulness, DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy), EFT (emotion-focused therapy), and other modalities— I tailor my approach to fit your needs. 

My practice is built on cultural sensitivity so that our work together factors in your unique history, values, and experience—but never reduces you to a checkbox.
