Derek Thomas MA, LPC, LICDC

 Philosophy of Counseling:

Throughout life, we are constantly making changes. It is always important to remember to have patience. Not all changes happen overnight and it takes time for the best things to grow. Trust in the process! As a professional counselor, my goal is to provide support and help lend strength as you go through those life changes. Life isn’t always easy, but it is a lot easier with at least one person in your corner. I’m ready to be there for you!
