Take Back Control Over Your Life & Live More Clearly
Counseling for Men & Psychedelic/Ketamine-Assisted
Psychotherapy in Asheville
Counseling
for Men
Rigid beliefs about masculinity may prevent men from reaching out for help, especially for mental health support. Counseling can help you access your true mature masculine self, giving you space to evolve into a more authentic version of yourself as a better partner, father, son, friend—a better man.
Trauma & Addictions Therapy
Trauma and addiction often go hand-in-hand. Addictions often manifest as a means to cope with the painful, buried feelings that often result from trauma. Therapy brings in evidenced-based interventions to explore and ease the impact of trauma and support addiction recovery.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
Ketamine is used as a legal form of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy with an extensive history of evidence to support its efficacy. Ketamine has been shown to have positive effects in the treatment of various conditions like anxiety, addiction. depression, chronic PTSD, and OCD.

MA | LCMHC
Hi, I’m Derek. I’m a mental health counselor based in Asheville, North Carolina.
I’ve experienced my share of pain, and the process of growing through my wounds is ultimately what inspired me to work with men dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship issues, or a general sense of feeling lost or out of purpose.
I take a supportive and caring approach with clients while also remaining honest and direct. This means I may challenge you and call you on your shit when you need it, but not without establishing a safe and therapeutic relationship built on mutual trust and understanding.
I listen carefully and without judgement for what is going on beneath the content of your stories to help you find clarity and direction.
Together, we’ll help you experience the change that you’re looking for.
