Deena Robertson, LPC
Ms. Deena Robertson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), dedicated to walking alongside individuals of all ages as they navigate life’s most challenging moments. With specialized training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Deena brings a compassionate, grounded presence to her work with adults, adolescents, and children.
Whether you or your child are facing anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, trauma, or major life transitions, Deena creates a welcoming and collaborative therapeutic space where healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. Her clinical approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, thoughtfully integrating the core principles of DBT—mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness—into her work. Deena is especially passionate about supporting individuals living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), helping them cultivate stability, self-awareness, and more fulfilling relationships through targeted, skills-based interventions.
In addition, Deena draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), tailoring her methods to meet the unique needs of each client. For younger clients, she thoughtfully incorporates play and art therapy techniques to encourage expression and gently process difficult experiences in developmentally supportive ways. Trauma-informed at every level, Deena holds a deep reverence for the strength it takes to seek support.
She believes in the power of self-compassion, emotional growth, and the importance of making sense of one’s own story. Her therapeutic environment is rooted in respect, inclusivity, and non-judgment—inviting space for insight, self-awareness, and transformation. Deena earned her Master’s Degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University and brings both clinical expertise and heartfelt dedication to every session. She believes that even in our most painful moments, we each carry within us the capacity for resilience and renewal. With warmth, empathy, and unwavering support, Deena walks alongside her clients on their path from pain to peace—helping them discover clarity, connection, and a life worth living.
