Darrien Held

Hi, I'm Darrien. During my time as a therapist, I have seen the inter-workings of all levels of care, ranging from inpatient hospitalization to private practice. Most of the clients I have worked with have been in crisis, recovery, and acute stress which has prepared me for individual therapy in a way that allows me to hold space for all aspects of the client, their past, present, and their future. I specialize in helping adults experiencing addictions with co-occuring mood disorders.

I strive to be solution-focused and provide relief for my clients. However, I find long-term relief primarily needs to be found in skills that benefit life on a daily basis. I use DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) skills for distress tolerance and emotional regulation and add in work for regulating the nervous system so you can recognize triggers and cope more effectively.

The first session will feel like the beginning of a puzzle. We will lay out all of the pieces of what we will be working with and together we will connect it in a way that goals can be more clear. Book with me through my calendar to schedule a session- I'm looking forward to meeting you.
