Message to clients

Living with a chronic illness brings challenges that can be deeply personal and often misunderstood. As a therapist who lives with multiple sclerosis, I bring not only clinical expertise, but also lived experience to our work together. I understand, both professionally and personally, the physical, emotional, and social impact chronic conditions can have on your life. Whether you’re navigating a new diagnosis, managing ongoing symptoms, or simply trying to stay connected to who you are beyond your illness, I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to explore those experiences. My goal is to help you build resilience, find meaning, and create a life that feels whole - on your terms. You don’t have to face it alone. I’m here to help.

Deanna Hight is of the highest caliber psychotherapist I have ever known. I invited her to join me in my private practice and she was an exceptional co-worker and colleague. I have stayed in touch with Deanna and invited her to work on several projects with me over the years. She is the consummate professional. You will be sorry if you don't contract with her.
