My name is Darecia Miller-McCant and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. I work with adults and older adults and specialize in depression, bipolar, anxiety, and stress. I think it is an honor and privilege to be a part of people’s life’s journey to find positive solutions that improve their psychological and emotional wellbeing.
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking that increases negative behaviors/reactions; and replace them with more beneficial and useful ways of thinking when facing challenges and stress. My communication style is inquisitive, compassionate, and friendly. I want my clients to feel at ease talking with me, knowing they're being heard, encouraged, and not judged. We all have fallen short of being our best selves, but with each day we can strive to become better.
In our first session, we will explore your current experiences, perspectives, and the purpose(s) that led you to seek therapy services. I hope to build an initial connection for our conversation to feel relaxed, safe, open-minded, and respected. I want to learn who you are and your background, so I will ask you questions to gain a clear understanding. I welcome to ask questions as well. As we talk, we'll create a plan on how to reach your desired outcome(s) to have a satisfactory life.
