MEET DESSIREE

Dessiree Pendleton, LMSW

Licensed Master Social Worker

My experience in school settings has led me to specialize in supporting children and teens with autism, ADHD, and other developmental and social-emotional challenges. I also provide parent training for families navigating special needs. Additionally, I support clients dealing with mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, substance use, sexual abuse, domestic violence/IPV, and trauma. I offer affirming support to those in marginalized communities, including individuals identifying as LGBTQ+, kink/BDSM practitioners, polyamorous, and those experiencing gender or sexual identity exploration.

My practice integrates both traditional and holistic therapeutic modalities. In addition to my clinical training, I am a certified Reiki practitioner, 200-hour certified yoga teacher, and certified in sound healing, tapping, and mindfulness practices. My training in these areas allows me to offer a well-rounded approach to therapy.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel daunting, but I want you to know that you're not alone. My approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and a deep commitment to your healing journey. Whether you're navigating trauma, mental health struggles, or life transitions, I am here to walk alongside you in a safe, non-judgmental space.
