My name is Dexter Jefferson, and I am licensed clinical social worker. In 2009, I graduated from the University of Southern California with a graduate’s degree in social work. In my 15 years of experience working in the human services field, I have practiced at every level of care in various positions ranging from therapist to clinical director. Prior to starting my practice, I was a clinical director and therapist for 3 years with Life Stance Health, which is one of the largest mental health providers in the country.

I understand the difficulties and frustrations of finding a therapist that can relate to the struggles that men face. I also  recognize that therapy is not something that most men naturally gravitate towards, so it is common that most men do not even realize that they need healing, and if they do recognize the need, they do not know how to begin the healing process.

 In response, men commonly develop unhealthy coping skills that mask their pain, which ultimately leads to broken relationships, hopelessness, loneliness, anger, isolation, and addiction. Regardless as to if it is anxiety, depression, or substance abuse that you are struggling with, the right therapist can help you begin the healing process. I believe that I am the right therapist for you, because I can understand and  relate to men’s unique life challenges. Please allow me to help you take these first crucial steps towards your mental and emotional wellness. You owe it to yourself to get the help that you need.

I provide virtual individual psychotherapy within the state of Arkansas, California, Missouri, Oklahoma and Washington that is tailored to meet the unique needs of every one of my clients. I recognize that everyone is different, and may require different approaches to treatment, although the overarching goal for each of my clients is the same. The goal is for my clients to be healed, whole and well, while living life to the fullest.
