Deana Wolf, LCSW
Clinical Supervisor & Psychotherapist
Deana works with women in their 20s and 30s, highly sensitive persons, and perfectionists - people who feel deeply, hold themselves to impossible standards, and are ready to understand why.
"A first session with me is grounded in warmth, curiosity, and getting to know you from a holistic perspective. Together, we'll explore your story, identify meaningful goals, and move at a pace that feels comfortable and supportive for you."
About Deana
Deana's work centers on the patterns underneath the symptoms: the complex trauma that taught you to stay vigilant, the ADHD that was missed for years because you compensated so well, the relationship anxiety that turns closeness into a source of worry. Her clients are often highly sensitive, high-standards women who have spent years being the reliable one - and are ready to be understood rather than just productive.
Her approach is attachment-based and emotionally focused: therapy that looks at how your earliest relationships shaped the way you connect now, and works with emotions rather than around them. She weaves in IFS-informed work - getting to know the protective parts of you that developed for good reasons - always from a warm, holistic, whole-person perspective.
Deana is licensed in both New York and North Carolina, and serves as one of the practice's clinical supervisors, supporting the development of other therapists on the team.

What Clients Say
"Deana is such a blessing on my life. I have nothing but great things to say about her. Therapy used to feel like work to me, but with her it's something I look forward to and I am excited to keep continuing to grow and have her guide me through the challenges along the way. Nothing but love for her and my life has been so much better ever since I've met her!"
"Deana is an outstanding therapist. I've gone through a couple of options but never felt as heard and understood as she makes me feel. Rather than just listen to what I say and tell me what I think I want to hear she often makes me think of my situation in a different light, and that push is what I need to grow as a person. Highly recommended her."
