I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. My warm and flexible, integrated approach to therapy draws upon therapeutic components found within Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy to support you in reaching your personal treatment goals.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Deonia listen to my concerns and shared her expertise with me. She showed empathy and gave me some homework to do. I recommend highly Deonia
She's the best therapist i've ever had. She listens, she's not judgmental. It feels good to have someone to talk to that. Looks like you that understands my culture because she's a part of the culture understands my spirituality, and my relationship with God she's not demeaning. She's not disrespectful, and she seems to have a very kind heart, and I love the fact that she seems to understand me.
I had my first meeting with Deonia Young today and I experienced her as a wise, kind and spacious presence, capable of compassionately holding what I was bringing and of gracefully helping me to strengthen my own container. I am surprised by and grateful for how much more hopeful I feel after meeting with her.
Deonia has engaged with me in both the journal writing and sessions. She seems to be able to cut through the emotional turmoil to quickly get to the foundational issues with a Godly perspective. I am grateful.
Deonia is an amazing therapist. She is insightful, knowledgeable, an amazing listener and I look forward to our sessions.
