Derrick Carroll

My therapeutic practice emphasizes person-centered, solution-focused techniques designed to connect with clients the purpose of collaborating towards common positive outcomes. I often use humor, when appropriate and am always "real" according to my past clients. I truly believe that anyone can find true purpose and identity in life but often need a "guide" to assist them on their journey. I am a family man with a deep faith that allows me to accept all who seek to improve their lives through therapy and focus on what is best for my clients to help them achieve their therapeutic goals.

My initial approach to therapy is true caring curiosity in order to find connections with my clients and help them feel "heard" and "safe" during the therapeutic process. After the initial meeting, I work hand-in-hand with the client to find the best practices to work towards achieving the client's goals for therapy.

First sessions are always so exciting to me! Clients can expect unconditional positive regard for their mental and physical health, compassion and respect for their cultural, religious, and personal beliefs, and a genuine desire to connect with the client in order to form a collaborative bond leading to more positive outcomes in therapy.
