I'm a licensed therapist in Mississippi with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients across the lifespan, specializing in stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and major life transitions.
My approach is grounded in compassion and respect for each person's unique journey. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore difficult emotions, heal from past wounds, and build meaningful connections—with yourself and others. Whether you're navigating grief, relationship struggles, workplace challenges, spiritual questions, or the complexities of identity and self-worth, I'm here to walk alongside you.
I draw on evidence-based therapeutic practices to address concerns including anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma recovery, codependency, family dynamics, and life purpose. I'm particularly skilled at helping clients work through guilt, shame, forgiveness, and the pain of abandonment or loss. I also have experience supporting women through postpartum challenges, seasonal mood changes, and the unique stressors of caregiving.
My style is direct, honest, and deeply respectful of your values and beliefs. I honor where you come from and meet you with genuine care as you move toward healing and growth. Starting therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to support you on this path.

She has been incredibly helpful and supportive in my journey. She has not only been sounding board and safe place, but also have been a great source of wisdom and accountability in my walk with Christ. She has great wealth of knowledge, advice, and yet open to learn new things which is quiet encouraging and inspiring for me.

Delissa has been exactly who I needed to help me work through so much that had just piled up. She has been very validating, but at the same time gives tough love when I need it. I feel like I have progressed more in my seven months with her than I have previously with several years of therapy work. I cannot say enough good about her. I feel so much better for having had her guidance. She is the best and I hope she knows how much I truly appreciate her and all her help!

Delissa has been so helpful. She always reminds me GOD is ALWAYS by my side. Delissa has always been professional, kind & such a great inspiration to me to read Scripture & not be afraid to set boundaries on people in my life. She is always an inspiration to follow GOD'S word & for me THAT is a wonderful reason for me to keep her as my Therapist. I thank GOD for this wonderful knowledgeable lady.

Delissa Castleberry is a great therapist. I’ve never really been able to open up to anyone, but she has made me feel very comfortable and able to talk about many things. She also incorporates prayer and biblical readings into our sessions, I think that is great! I would definitely recommend her to everyone I know!!

Delissa is a Godsend! She UNDERSTANDS ME!!! Wow! It’s been a while since I could really say that. I’m very happy and very lucky to have her taking care of me.

I'm thankful that I was able to meet with a Christian-based therapist. She is a wonderful listener and a strong "do what is best for you" believer. I was always advised to do what would be best for me and my happiness and I cannot thank her enough. Learning to say no to toxic people and habits has transformed my life and I'm better for it. I have the tools that allow me to believe in myself and my abilities which is big after spending the majority of my life being insecure and low on self-worth. She is a big cheerleader and everyone needs one from time to time.

I could not have been assigned a better therapist. She is very professional, understanding, listens to me and suggests appropriate compensatory strategies to help me deal with current difficult circumstances which are exacerbating my chronic depression.
I feel that we are well matched as client and therapist and thank God that our paths have crossed.

I have absolutely loved my sessions with Mrs. Delissa. I have been in and out of therapy my whole life and have never had many therapists that will listen and respect my concerns quite like she does. She’s a very kind and loving person and I am so glad I was able to meet her and speak with her. 10/10 recommendation.
