DEENA HITZKE COUNSELING
Healing starts with awareness. It deepens through connection—connection to yourself, to others, and to the parts of your story that want to be heard.
At Deena Hitzke Counseling, we integrate clinically informed therapy with mindful, sensory-supportive spaces that encourage reflection, embodiment, and emotional clarity.
Our work centers on meeting you exactly where you are. Through personalized treatment, nervous-system-aware practices, and a therapeutic relationship built on trust, we help you create meaningful and lasting change. This is a place to pause, breathe, and begin again—with guidance that honors both your vulnerability and your strength.
