About Deidre Jenkins

Deidre Jenkins holds a Master of Science in Marriage and Family/Child Therapy from the University of Phoenix – Las Vegas Campus, where she graduated in 2009. She also holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. Her educational foundation is firmly rooted in understanding individuals within the context of their most important relationships — a framework that guides every aspect of her therapeutic work.

She is licensed in both Nevada (License #01203) and Pennsylvania, giving her the ability to serve clients across two states. She holds multiple advanced credentials, including:

• ACS — Approved Clinical Supervisor
• CIMHP — Certified Integrative Mental Health Practitioner
• FNTP — Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (certified through the Nutritional Therapy Association, 2018)
• SAP — Substance Abuse Professional
• Credentialed Divorce Mediator
• Trained Co-Parent Coordinator

Deidre also collaborates with Dr. Thomas Brewer, PhD (Health Consultant), on the functional mental and physical health dimensions of her practice, reflecting her holistic approach to wellness.

Therapeutic Approach

Deidre’s therapeutic style is eclectic and holistic, meaning she draws from multiple evidence-based frameworks depending on what serves her client best. Her primary modalities include:

• Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) — centering on your goals rather than dwelling on what went wrong
• Person-Centered (Rogerian) Therapy — offering unconditional positive regard, deep empathy, and authentic connection
• Behavioral Therapy — using practical techniques to change unwanted patterns and build healthier habits
• Functional Mental Health — integrating nutritional therapy and physical wellness as components of psychological health

Rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all model, Deidre works collaboratively with each client to determine what is working, what isn’t, and what changes are realistic and sustainable.

Areas of Specialization

Deidre Jenkins is particularly skilled in relational and life transition work, with focused expertise in:

• Premarital and marital counseling
• Divorce counseling and conflict resolution
• Co-parenting support and coordination
• Individual therapy for adults dealing with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem
• Relationship issues and intimacy concerns
• ADHD in adults
• Motivation, self-confidence, and personal growth
• Nutritional and lifestyle factors affecting mental health

Her work as a credentialed divorce mediator and co-parent coordinator is especially valuable for clients navigating separation — these specialties allow her to de-escalate emotional conflict and focus on preserving healthy communication for the benefit of everyone involved, especially children.
