About Us

• Deanne Bishop MA LPC LMFT has been in business in Newport for 10 years.
  
  I believe that people want and need to feel a sense of connection and belonging, but they don't always know how to relate in effective and satisfying ways. As a result, difficulties can show up in their relationships with their partners, children, co-workers, or even in their relationship with themselves. Sometimes there is an external event, such as a separation, death in the family, trauma, or life transition that contributes to people's distress. Other times, feelings of discontent, confusion, anxiety, or depression may arise without understanding the source of those feelings.
  
  I work together with people to help them identify their personal and relational needs and to find satisfactory ways to meet those needs. My approach is tailored to respond to the needs of each person, whether focused on their own experience, or learning more effective ways of relating to others.
  
  Connecting with people's strengths and resiliency can lead them to make new choices about their feelings, thoughts, and responses, enabling them to make positive changes in their lives.
