Deanna Storck
BSW, Behavioral Specialist
I am passionate about working with youth and their families through the use of behavioral therapy. My areas of focus are disruptive behaviors, emotional dysregulation, and neurodivergence.
I believe that working with youth, alongside their families, can pave a healthier and happier path for everyone involved. No matter the reason for beginning treatment, I aim to make sure that my clients are comfortable and have access to the care and resources that they deserve.
I have a passion for behavioral health, and particularly in supporting those who are struggling with disruptive behaviors and emotional distress. I continuously aim to provide a safe space for those going through transitional periods, experiencing struggles in their day to day lives, or just overall needing support in addressing their behavioral health goals. I value open communication, collaboration on coping skills, and building a trusting relationship with my clients.
My goal is to create a supportive and inclusive environment for both children and their families. I will work with you towards creating lasting change through goal setting and empathy-centered progress towards these goals. While pursuing my degrees in the field of Social Work, I have been actively seeking opportunities to learn about different interventions and working closely with licensed Mental Health Clinicians and practitioners to grow my knowledge even further. I believe that every child and every case is different, and share a passion for working together on your individualized needs and goals.
