Bio

Deana Bacon has been a successful entrepreneur in the field of Human Services for 30 years. Helping people feel safe and appreciated has always been of the utmost importance, which is why she naturally gravitated to the field of psychotherapy.

In 1993, captivated by many styles of psychotherapy, Deana launched her own private practice in Beverly, Massachusetts. She counsels individuals, couples, families, and corporate environments. She conducts weekly group therapy sessions and teaches seminars and workshops on subjects such as anger management, stress reduction, conflict resolution, and building high quality love relationships.

Deana infuses her psychotherapy sessions with enthusiasm and compassion while utilizing a thoughtful, down-to-earth, challenging process. She allows the client time to truly connect with the mind and body, which opens up a greater opportunity for change. Deana offers a holistic integrated approach while conveying her passion for helping people into every session. She views herself as a life skills educator, and believes that good psychotherapy is both a learning and unlearning endeavor.

Deana’s practice has given her perspective, balance, and most importantly gratitude and respect for life. It is her hope to share this gift with clients guiding them through their own path.

Deana holds a Gold Certificate of Advanced Training in Psychotherapy. In addition, Deana has completed her 200 hour teacher training at South Boston Yoga under the tutelage of David Vendetti and Todd Skoglund. In June of 2014, she has completed a program consisting of 500 hours of intensive Vinyasa Yoga Training, with Rolf Gates and Jacqui Bonwell.  She is a registered yoga teacher holding a E-RYT 200 and RYT 500 with Yoga Alliance (www.yogaalliance.org) and is a Reiki Master Practitioner and Teacher. Deana has had the privilege of Studying Meditation and Mindfulness with Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.
