Beauty Within Counseling SERVICES
Gloria Derritt, MA. LPC
As a licensed and experienced counselor, I am dedicated to helping my clients achieve their goals and improve their mental health and well-being. I hold an MA in Marriage, Couples, and Family Counseling from Mid-America Nazarene University and a BS in Biblical Counseling from Calvary University.
I am deeply passionate about women's mental health and their ability to connect with their inner beauty and self-worth while healing from past pain. Life experiences can often lead to overpowering emotions, making daily life challenging to manage. As a Christian therapist, I offer counseling services incorporating a Christ-centered perspective for clients who value such services.
Mission
At Beauty Within Counseling, my mission is to provide high-quality counseling services to women and couples who are experiencing emotional or psychological difficulties.
Approach
I believe in a client-centered approach to counseling, where I collaborate with my clients to identify their goals and develop a personalized treatment plan.
About me
As I reflect on my personal journey, I recognize that each experience has been a stepping stone, shaping not only who I am today but also how I connect with others. Once a single mother raising my three sons, I embraced the formidable challenges of juggling multiple jobs while nurturing young lives. Those years were a testament to resilience, filled with trials that forged an unbreakable spirit.
My path has not been without its share of heartache; I endured the pain of divorce. However, from those shadows emerged a new dawn—a second marriage that filled my life with joy and introduced the enriching challenge of blending families. Together, we’ve created a supportive and loving environment that celebrates our shared journey.
Today, I carry these powerful lessons as I engage with clients, understanding and empathizing with their unique challenges and triumphs. It is my sincere hope that my story serves as a source of inspiration, demonstrating that regardless of the obstacles we encounter, there is always the possibility for renewal, growth, and extraordinary strength.
