Provider Types

This is a group practice with multiple providers, including:

  • Clinical Social Work/Therapists

Desireé Waters understands that life can be both beautiful and overwhelming—and sometimes all at once. She believes we all deserve a space where we can pause, reflect, and receive support without judgment. Desireé offers that space and aims to be a steady, compassionate part of your support system.

In the midst of busy schedules, constant responsibilities, and the unpredictability of life, it’s easy to put your own needs last. But in the therapy space, that changes. Together, you’ll create time that is just for you—focused solely on your healing, growth, and goals. Desireé fosters a safe, affirming environment where you are encouraged to be your full self and guide your own journey at a pace that feels right.

Desireé brings a well-rounded background in clinical social work and school-based mental health, with experience supporting children, teens, and families. She uses a strength-based, trauma-informed approach and is especially passionate about helping young people build emotional resilience, process life transitions, and feel seen and heard. Whatever you are weathering, Desireé is here to walk alongside you with empathy and intention
