Hi, I'm De'Stanye, a therapist passionate about helping individuals feel seen, heard, and empowered in their healing journey. I specialize in working with young adults and women navigating life transitions, identity development, anxiety, and self-esteem. I help young adults manage stress, boost confidence, navigate relationships, and handle all the “what am I doing with my life?” moments. My sessions are a judgment-free zone where you can vent, process, and build tools to feel more grounded and in control.
College is a time of constant change and adjustment. I work to support college students by providing a safe space to talk and validating their experience as they enter into a new season of life. I completed my internship at a University Counseling Center and developed a passion for supporting students in the midst of academic challenges, relationship difficulties, life adjustments, and identity development. If you are a college student needing support, send me a message or give me a call and we can talk about how to help make this season of life feel a little more manageable.
Welcome to Higher Aim, LLC. I intentionally use my practice as a healing space along life's journey.

My hope is that every person leaves our sessions feels empowered and heard.

Hello! Life can be difficult and at times it can feel overwhelming to navigate everything on your own. Having a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood can make a huge impact in your ability to achieve your therapeutic goals. Together, we will create goals that feel achievable and will move you closer to what you’d like life to look like. I love using a combination of Trauma-Focused CBT, DBT concepts, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help reduce distressing symptoms from grief, anxiety, adjusting to college life, and PTSD. If you want to work through difficult past experiences, talk through home sickness, overcome anxiety, or anything in between, I'd love to be a listening ear! I believe that you have to connect well with the person you choose as your counselor, so reach out by phone or e-mail to schedule a free phone consultation. I look forward to meeting you!
Life throws us unexpected curves, hurdles, and struggles. In fact, life can be down right hard. How would life be different if you had an advocate on your side to empathetically and non-judgmentally walk alongside you in your journey to experience healing, growth, and a fulfilling life As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I provide counseling to individuals of all ages and families to address various issues such as trauma, anxiety, anger management, abuse, depression, life changes, grief, attention-deficit disorders, and adjustment disorders. I use an eclectic approach with my clients. I understand that each of my clients and their needs are different, so I adjust my approach to best suit their personality and preference. Generally, I use cognitive-behavioral therapy with a focus on examining our negative thinking patterns impacting our current view of life. I often couple cognitive behavioral therapy with self-compassion techniques, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness. Taking the first step towards healing is hard. Taking the first steps to reach out to a stranger is even more challenging. But know that you are worth it. You are worth experience hope and healing to live a fulfilling life. By reaching out to me, I commit to walk alongside you and provide a safe and accepting environment to help you discover fulfillment.
