Denaya Black, MA, LPCC
Denaya brings a love of all people to the table, and hopes this shows through her compassion, empathy, humor and oftentimes, direct approach with the clients she works with. She practices from a Christian worldview and believes that we grow the most through the hardest and darkest times in our life if we understand the purpose of it, and seek support to build skills around it. Denaya believes that we are not made to live alone but to live in community. All of us are given gifts and we all create this beautiful mosaic when we use those gifts to honor those around us. Sometimes these gifts are not known to us until we forge them in dark and trying times and see the joy in common humanity.
