Hello, my name is Deja Phillips, LSW.

I am a compassionate and holistic psychotherapist who enjoys helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with clarity and support. My work is centered on creating a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore emotions, strengthen coping skills, and work toward meaningful personal growth.

My therapeutic approach focuses on the connection between mind, body, and emotional wellbeing. I believe that lasting change happens when these areas are addressed together. I draw from evidence based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness based techniques to create individualized treatment plans that align with each client’s goals and lived experience.

I support adults who are managing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma related concerns, and major life transitions. My style is collaborative and practical, with an emphasis on building insight, emotional regulation, and resilience over time. I aim to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen relationships, and move forward with greater confidence and balance in their daily lives.
