Deidra Mays
Hi, I’m Deidra Mays, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 30 years of experience helping people work through challenges and find personal growth. I specialize in supporting students and young adults with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationships, and trauma, offering a compassionate and practical space to process, heal, and build confidence.
What I love most about being a therapist is watching people discover their strengths and realize they’re capable of more than they thought. I especially enjoy working with students who feel weighed down by stress, anxiety, or depression, and helping them find tools to feel more balanced, hopeful, and empowered.
One of the values I always share is “progress, not perfection.” College can feel like a constant pressure to perform, but growth isn’t about getting everything right. It’s about taking small, steady steps and giving yourself credit along the way. My role is to listen, encourage, and walk alongside you as you navigate both the challenges and opportunities that come with this stage of life.
If you’d like to schedule with me, just fill out the Get Started form on the WellQor website or email gethelp@wellqor.com, and someone from our front office will reach out to guide you through the next steps.
