About me

Today's world is full of complications and barriers to finding ease in being our authentic selves. The beautiful inner spirit that makes us who we are as individuals is often masked with grief from heavy losses in life, finding too much on our plates each day, and bumping into the strain that others around us are also carrying. I believe in the strengths that reside within us all, as humans. I love being a therapist because this role allows me to work with individuals from all different backgrounds in a supportive way as these individuals look to reignite who they really are on the inside. This world often gives us more than we need to get off track. I believe every person can benefit from therapy at any point in their lifespan that they choose to reach out. Human connection and understanding is key to our wellness. I am here to provide a non-judgemental, supportive hand to your journey.

I graduated from Howard University, Washington, D.C. with a Master's degree in Social Work. I focused my studies on gerontology and the transitions we face in life as we age. I worked for a Hospice provider for nearly 7 years supporting individuals, families, and human service/medical employees as they engaged with the most intense life transitions. This clinical background aided me in rooting my personal therapeutic practice around existentialism (a fancy word for finding meaning in life), inner human strengths, and mindfulness (being present in this moment).

I look forward to working with individuals who are wanting to feel better in these times. I believe there are many things we can do together to improve our outlook on this world and what it has to offer us. No matter how small or how big you feel your issue is, I am here to listen and support you in this journey.

Delishia did a great deal to help my understand myself better for the two years she worked with me. I'm not perfect but I am in a better place because of her guidance.

Written on Sep 27, 2023 after therapy with Delishia for 4 years on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and self esteem

I’ve been working with Delishia for several years and could not stress how helpful she’s been. When I first started therapy I was cynical but knew I needed to try a different way of getting help because I couldn’t do it on my own. From that mindframe to now, Delishia has been patient, kind, supportive, reliable, and extremely helpful. I didn’t realize I was missing someone in my life who would just say “I’m proud of how far you’ve come” on days I was really struggling. Very truthfully, she’s been the first person in a very long time who I’ve opened up to and because of that I am able to work towards getting better. I’ve still got a long way to go but having Delishia to lean on is more helpful than I can express.

Delishia is truly a gem! She has a kind and welcoming demeanor that makes it very easy to build a strong, trusting rapport with her. She works hard to find resources and share past info that she’s read etc to add to the conversation and care goals I’m working towards.
I have been meeting with Delishia weekly for almost 5 years now, and every week I still take away something new from our sessions! She’s supportive, kind, and helps gently push me to continue making the best progress that I can!
Anyone would be more than lucky to work with Delishia!
