Nathaniel Deka

Hi, I'm Nate. Ive been working with kids since I was seventeen years old and in behavioral health for over a decade. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and behavior management for families and children. I work with families, adults, young people and those on the autism spectrum. Most of my career I have spent providing crisis therapy in community mental health and hospital settings. Through that work I provide solution focused care in a timely manner to help clients gain a sense of normalcy on their terms. In my free I enjoy bicycling (touring, commuting, and road cycling) a plethora of winter sports, hiking, trail running, cooking, and collecting records.

You are the expert on yourself and your own situation. Sometimes we get lost, overwhelmed, and burdened with the rigors of daily life and past trauma/experiences. Your own journey is a puzzle; you already have most of the pieces to make things work and we can work together to put them back in the right place and find those missing pieces to help you thrive again.

My main goal in our fist session is to get to know you and how we can work together to achieve your therapeutic goals. I'm a strong believer that people don't fail, plans do, so a solid treatment plan from the beginning is essential. I will have many questions about what you brought you to therapy, what you need in the short term, and what you need in the long term to accomplish your goals. Building trust and rapport is paramount to set a strong foundation for working together.
