Deana Charter, BHC, M Ed., LPC

Next Step Counseling, LLC

Hi there! I’d love to meet you.

I have been working in the field for over 16 years now, and have identified my purpose in life. It is helping people to achieve clarity with their own purpose. I am honored to assist people on their individual or relationship journeys.  I help my clients gain insight into their path and purpose that they bring to life and aid in the healing process. I use an integrated approach to healing and am EMDR trained. I help people to learn how to focus on the present rather than the future or the past. I believe in meeting you where you’re in your process of healing.

I work with couples and individuals. I see teens ages 15 and up, and adults.

I am an Arizona board approved Clinical Supervisor.
