My name is Oreta Draper, and I have been practicing as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for over twenty years who enjoys helping others. I have many years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults struggling with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transition, relational problems, and substance usage through various treatment modalities. Over the years, I have found that everyone can use some help with processing challenges that may be going on in their life, where additional support may be needed to take steps towards their healing journey.I will provide a friendly, warm environment where my clients can feel comfortable in expressing their feelings and concerns that may be going on in their lives. I am a good listener who would like to hear my clients' stories to help them work toward their healing journey.Our first session will include introductions, background information about my experience, building rapport, and asking you what you hope the treatment will provide. I will also complete a short initial assessment to learn more about you and why you came into therapy. If you think we might be a good fit, I encourage you to reach out today.
