Are you ready for a change?

We all have the ability to change our lives and to weather the toughest storms, with support, hope and a little imagination.  You do not have to be held back by your past.  You do not have to settle for “just good enough”.  You do not have to feel as out of control or overwhelmed by the difficulties you currently face.  I can help you create the change you want and manage the fears, uncertainties and emotions that come with this transformational work. 

If you find yourself struggling with…

• Anxiety or panic
• Self-esteem and confidence challenges
• Setting boundaries and codependency
• Past trauma or experiences that don’t feel resolved
• Grief and loss
• Infertility or pregnancy loss
• Pregnancy or post partum difficulties
• Personal growth and stress-management

I’m here to help.

My name is Derica R. Waller, LCSW, LICSW.  I am honored to provide individual therapy and coaching services to adults ready to make changes and feel better in their lives. 

I believe that both our pain and desires teach us to center our attention around a part of us that needs to grow. Every part of us, both the ones we’re proud of and the ones that frustrate us, are trying to work for us. Some may just need healing, understanding and care, learning that there are now new options and choices that we didn’t have before.

With almost 30 years of experience I can help you manage life’s challenges with both clinical expertise and compassionate support.  I use a blend of the following modalities:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Internal Family Systems (IFS)
• Acceptance and Committment Therapy (ACT)
• mindfulness and body-centered techniques

My job is to listen and perhaps offer a fresh perspective, supporting you to be curious, compassionate and kind with yourself as you learn to navigate your emotions and life in new ways. I am open and direct and will share what I notice in our work together, always with a deep respect for your own understanding of yourself. Oh! And I love to give homework! Taking your new skills out into the world is one of the best ways to build confidence and learn what really works for you.

I see therapy as a collaboration between you and I. I don’t have all the answers for you and you don’t need me to. Together we can find the answers that fit best for you.

Please call or email to schedule a free 20 minute consultation.  Finding a therapist or coach you truly feel comfortable with is an important first step.  As you read more here on the InnerLight Counseling website, know that I’m happy to answer any questions you may have.

Warmly,
Derica R. Waller, MSW, LCSW

Peace.

It does not mean to be in a place
where there is no noise, trouble or
hard work.  It means to be in the
midst of those things and still
be calm in your heart.
