Get To Know Me
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
What’s important to know about working with me is that therapy is a partnership. I don’t expect you to show up with everything figured out, and I don’t come in assuming I know your story better than you do. My role is to help you explore what’s underneath the emotions you’re carrying and to support you in understanding how your experiences, identity, and environment have shaped your wellbeing.
Because much of my work centers on trauma, depression, anxiety, and the experiences of people of color and underserved communities, I approach therapy with cultural awareness and a deep respect for the complexity of each person’s life. You can expect an space where you don’t have to explain or defend the parts of yourself that haven’t always been understood elsewhere.
I’m very collaborative. We move at a pace that feels right for you, and we focus on tools and insights that match your lived reality. You don’t need to be perfect to work with me. You just need to be willing to show up as you are, and together we’ll work toward healing that feels sustainable.

Education
Walden University, Master of Social Work, 2017 — In my Master of Social Work program at Walden University, I received focused training in trauma treatment, culturally responsive therapy, and evidence-based approaches for depression, anxiety, and PTSD. My education strengthened my ability to understand how culture, identity, and life experiences shape emotional wellbeing. Clients often find it helpful to know that my graduate work emphasized real-world practice with diverse and underserved communities, which prepared me to offer care that is both clinically grounded and deeply attuned to the lived experiences of people of color.
Work HistoryI’m Jennifer Deas, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Nevada, Georgia, and Virginia. Over the years, I’ve worked with adults facing depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, and trauma. My experience comes from serving people in community settings and private care, which taught me the importance of meeting each person with understanding and flexibility.
In our sessions, you’ll find a place to slow down and sort through what feels difficult. We’ll look at how your experiences affect your daily life and explore strategies that make sense for you. My role is to listen closely, highlight patterns you may not see on your own, and work alongside you as you practice new ways of coping.
I welcome people from all backgrounds and affirm identities including body positivity, racial justice, LGBTQ+ communities, sex work, kink, single mothers, and veterans. I use methods such as ACT, CPT, DBT, and trauma-focused care, always adjusting them so they fit your needs and pace.
