Rick DeatonPsychologist, PsyD

About

I treat both couples and individuals (18+) and tailor psychotherapy to meet the goals and needs of the patient. The therapeutic relationship is especially important and my goal is to provide a collaborative and interactive psychotherapy experience. I have 30 years experience treating people who experience depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder and symptoms of alcohol and drug abuse. I also have the experience and privilege of serving a culturally and ethnically diverse population, including the gay and lesbian community. Depending on the needs of my patient, I integrate both psychodynamic principles, which involve the exploration of one's past and its impact on the present, and cognitive behavioral techniques, which involve changing thoughts and behaviors that can contribute to presenting problems and symptoms.
