Derrick Hurst, LSCSW

Derrick understands that starting therapy can feel overwhelming. That’s why he creates a safe, supportive space grounded in collaboration and your unique strengths. Using a trauma-informed approach, he helps clients explore how past experiences may be influencing the present, always centering your voice in the process.

Derrick believes you are the expert in your own life. His role is to guide you in building resilience, developing tools to navigate challenges, and reconnecting with your inner strengths. He blends a variety of therapy techniques with coaching strategies to promote self-awareness and help you achieve your personal goals.

With extensive experience working with individuals across the lifespan—from children as young as five to adults in their 90s—Derrick brings a deep understanding of diverse needs and life stages. He is particularly skilled in supporting clients navigating ADHD, sexual reactivity, boundary issues, and trauma. He approaches these sensitive topics with empathy, insight, and a commitment to helping you move forward in a healthy and respectful way.

Derrick provides therapy at our Lawrence location, where he also serves as Location Lead, managing day-to-day operations.
