My name is Cletus (Clete) Deller and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (20 years experience) who started out my professional career as a teacher. As far as approach, I use both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Action and Commitment Therapy, (ACT), along with a focus on Christian Deliverance Ministry.
I have two Graduate Degrees (an MS in Psychology and Counseling, and an MBA), Post Graduate Certification in Forensic Psychology, certification as a Sexual Therapist, and in addition, I have ISE and NCAA certification in Deliverance Ministry.
I am strongly focused on offering both science-based treatment and a Christian Deliverance Ministry approach that can successfully treat trauma, addiction, and Narcissistic and Borderline personalities. From the science side, I am trained and certified in the only evidenced-based scientific treatments, strongly recommended by the American Psychology Association (Prolonged Exposure, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Trauma-based CBT). From the Deliverance Ministry side, as mentioned above, I have both ISE and NCAA certification.
I am a not a Christian counselor, but I am a Counselor who is a Christian. What that means is that I can use both scientifically validated approaches to solving mental health issues, and Christian counseling techniques, if requested. The goal is always to craft the right plan, for the person that is seeking help.
What sets me apart from all other therapists, is a unique approach based on Christian Deliverance Ministry, that I use to help people who suffer from Narcissistic and Borderline lives. Currently there is only one approved treatment for Borderline (DBT which I am also certified in), that takes over a year to be effective, and there is no approved treatment for Narcissism. The treatment I offer for both Borderline and Narcissism, usually takes less than 8 sessions. For my treatment to work however, the individual MUST WANT TO GET BETTER.

Written on Aug 01, 2024 after therapy with Cletus for 2 months on issues concerning addictions
Cletus listens carefully to what I am saying and provides well thought out responses. I feel safe confiding in him, not because of the separation and virtual anonymity that electronic therapy provides. Rather, I get a sense that he gets pleasure from knowing that he is providing the best support that he can for my achieving the best results possible. Through his patient guidance, I have learned not only what my major issues are, but how deeply seated those issues reside. Change for the better is inevitable. I have much gratitude for that.

Cletus helped me make a huge transformation. He is very results oriented and really does deliver. He is a great listener, has a wealth of knowledge about the psychology of awareness and change. Very quickly adapts methods to the individual, and gives valuable observations and suggestions, to enable progress. Doesn't believe in non-sense and wasting time, but at the same time has great empathy and ability to motivate. Can't say enough good things about Cletus. At least for me, it was a great fit, and made a huge difference for me to get to where I wanted to be.

Clete has done exactly what he said he would in his description. He's really helped me get out of a weird place that I'd tried to get out of on my own and also with the help of others but I was just going round and round in. He definitely has a lot of experience and knowledge and knows how to use it to help you navigate your way out of the woods. If you need some help getting to a better place, from my experience, I can sincerely recommend Clete.

Dr. Cletus makes me feel at ease.. very approachable and understanding .. i find him easy to talk to, aand the most admirable feat about him is that he actually took his time and did his best to understand my culture and where i am coming from which is a bit unfamiliar to him, but stepped to the occasion thus provided the best therapy for me

Cletus is an outstanding therapist and human being. He was understanding of my special needs and wants, stayed open minded towards my request regarding the direction of the therapy and the methods I preferred to use. We had an intellectual and enlightening conversation about mind, thought processes and spirit. Even if we are only at the beginning of our quest together, I couldn't be more enthusiastic.
