Derrick Porter

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker driven by a deep passion for empowering individuals and families to unlock their fullest potential. Together, we’ll create a personalized toolkit to not only navigate life’s challenges but to thrive, growing stronger and healthier within your community. Since 2005, I’ve dedicated my career to providing compassionate, expert care to adolescents (12 and up) and adults, specializing in mood disorders, depression, anxiety, trauma, and ADHD. For me, seeking support is a courageous step that reflects your strength and determination. You deserve a fulfilling, vibrant life, and I’m here to help you address obstacles while building on your unique strengths to enhance your overall well-being. Let’s work together to help you live your best life—because you are worth it.

In our first session, we will begin with brief introductions. I will then guide you through an intake questionnaire and psychosocial assessment to better understand you, identify your goals, and explore the reasons that prompted you to reach out. During this time, I will also address any questions you might have.

Once the initial intake is complete, my focus will be on supporting you in creating a more fulfilling life. This includes fostering a healthier relationship with yourself and others, which begins with enhancing your emotional intelligence and self-awareness.
