Deidra Bentley

I’m a licensed professional counselor with over a decade of experience supporting people through life’s turning points. My practice offers an affirming, culturally responsive space where you can explore who you are, heal from what’s been heavy, and grow into a more grounded version of yourself.

I specialize in helping adults navigate depression, anxiety, identity exploration, and relationship challenges, with particular focus on the experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals and those coping with the weight of being part of marginalized groups in today’s social climate. My approach is collaborative and compassionate—drawing from trauma-informed care, somatic therapy, and mindfulness to help you reconnect with your body, emotions, and sense of empowerment.

Therapy with me is a space for self-discovery and resilience. Together, we’ll strengthen communication, deepen self-acceptance, and create room for healing in the midst of a complex world. I believe growth begins when we honor the truth of our experiences and learn to live with authenticity, balance, and purpose.
