Authentically Whole Counseling, PLLC
Begin to heal and become whole.
I find that throughout experiences of trauma and disturbances, we wind up becoming fragmented pieces of ourselves and the biggest result of this is not leading an authentic life. My practice is based on bringing these parts back together to form a whole self and becoming a genuine authentic being, hence "Authentically Whole Counseling".
About
Hello! I'm Deniz Degirmenci, owner, and...
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) specializing in trauma.
I also am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing therapy
(EMDR). This is an incredible passion of mine and it allows me to help
get to the root of issues for clients instead of just tackling surface
symptoms. I take the belief that many issues stem from our younger years, which is why working to resolve these wounds lets us form a more healthy functional adult self. I truly believe in our capabilities and think we are all so much stronger than we think. I know therapy can be scary and overwhelming, but I take pride in meeting my clients where they are at and having the appropriate amount of nurturance and challenge that a client needs to really move toward meaningful change. With kindness, patience, and guidance I will be there every step of the way and am excited to see the progress you are so capable of making.
Services
*At this time, I am NOT accepting new clients. I will update this site as soon as this changes.*
I offer individual therapy to adults 18 years and up, primarily focusing on past traumas (big and "small"). I also really enjoy helping clients with:
- Assertiveness training; including establishing and maintaining boundaries with others and reducing people pleasing behaviors
- Anxiety management skills
- Self-esteem
- Emotion regulation
- Relationship issues
"Deniz is very genuine in wanting to help work through any issues or current feelings and concerns. She brings humour to the conversation and is very eloquent in explaining and reframing a situation to bring clarity. She is great at what she does. It is always a good experience and a good session; even if difficult emotions come out. Always leave feeling more mindful, optimistic and calm."
Testimonies
"Working with Deniz has been life changing. I felt lost and stuck and unsure of how to process the things that had happened to me in childhood and early adulthood. It was affecting my current life, but with Deniz's help I've been able to work through so much of my childhood abuse. With our continued work I'm certain I'll continue to feel better and better and experience life at a much higher level."
"Deniz is the best! Understanding, compassionate, and so easy to talk to. Therapy was always a scary concept to me, and Deniz has proven that it is anything but! I have learned so much about myself and my trauma, and continue to grow and heal under her care."
