About Derrell
Derrell Tidwell is a licensed social worker with more than 40 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and self esteem concerns. He also works with LGBT issues, relationship and family difficulties, and life transitions. He uses straightforward conversation to help people find clarity and practical next steps.
Derrell believes each person knows their own story best. He helps clients identify strengths and use what he calls a "natural toolbox" to meet challenges. Sessions aim to turn moments of overwhelm into clearer plans for coping and change.
His background includes long experience supporting people of color through family conflict and multicultural concerns. He has worked across many settings over four decades and draws on several therapy approaches to meet different needs. He aims to blend listening with specific strategies so people can make usable progress.
Derrell uses Client-Centered methods to follow the person’s lead, Cognitive Behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking, and Trauma-Focused and Psychodynamic ideas when past experiences shape present struggles. He also uses Solution-Focused steps to identify small, manageable goals.
He holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and practices in Washington. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, a reader would choose the continue button on this profile, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.
