My name is Demetrius Clay. I am currently 33 years old of age, and I am an African American male. I currently live in Mississippi and recently received my LPC in September 2021. I received my Masters in Psychology & Counseling in 2016 and my Educational Specialist degree in Clinical Counseling in 2019. My background is clinical mental health. I been working around clinical mental health since 2014 after receiving my Bachelors degree in Psychology. I currently work as behavioral counselor at a public middle school that serves grades 6th - 8th. I worked mostly in inpatient facilities. I worked 11 months for an outpatient facility working with children & youth & adolescents. I have worked with young adults that have depression and anxiety. I also worked with young adults that had substance usage issues. From working in the inpatient facilities, I worked with schizophrenia and bipolar clients, depressed clients, substance abuse clients, and other clients with mental disorders. My focus area is currently substances addiction, parenting issues, depression and anxiety, and LGBTQ issues.
My style of therapy is warm and opening. I am non-judgmental and honesty. My first step is to build a positive therapeutic relationship with each client. I am a calm and relaxed therapist. My goal is to touch each client and to help each client solve his or her own issue and return back to normal functioning. From working at different inpatient facilities, I was able to gain experience from working with different populations and different clients with different diagnoses. I created treatment plans for each client and completed initial intake on each client. I also have group experience with group therapy. For parent that are having issues with their children, I do have experience in parenting issues by working with parents at this particular outpatient facility and through the school district.
I am willing to meet clients halfway when it comes to receiving therapy. My schedule is flexible, and I will be flexible in order to meet others' schedule. We can have counseling sessions through "zoom" or video call, by phone, or through messaging. I am open to all communications.

He is kind, compassionate and he listens. I appreciate his ability to reframe and look at things from a different perspective. He also talks to you instead of at you, and for that I am grateful. He holds space in a gentle way.

Demetrius Clay was a wonderful therapist for me. He not only set a professional environment, but a warm and friendly one as well. He made sure to check up on reoccurring issues every week and got to the root of how to handle my emotions. I came here looking for help and am leaving here feeling like myself again. Thank you a ton Mr. Clay!

Demetrius is kind and a helpful, listening ear. His disposition is charming and pleasant. He helped me stay grounded and focus on "saving the day" instead of "putting out fires" at work and reminded me of the possibilities of delegating some of the tedious work that I have to do. I highly recommend him to anyone on Betterhelp!

The first piece of advice I got, in session one, was simple, easy, and superbly effective to manage the situation I was facing. Throughout the rest of our sessions, Mr Clay has been insightful, helpful, and considerate. He has helped me grow and become stronger.
Written on Jan 13, 2023 after therapy with Demetrius for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and adhd
Demetrius was so helpful for me, and in such an efficient and effective way.
I engaged via live chat and was surprised at the depth and accuracy of his insights via messenger.
I got great real time comments during our sessions and extremely relevant and helpful homework to work with between sessions.
It’s not always easy to find support in our community, and given that I live in Australia we have even fewer resources here.
Demetrius was also really flexible with scheduling and I’m so glad we could make it work.
In just the first three sessions he has made a huge impact on my strength to navigate to future for myself and my relationship.
Thank you!

So far Demetrius has been a great help, clearing my doubts and I would say my fears and at the same time, recommending some worksheets for me to read at my own time.

I have been working with Demetrius for couple of months now, although still in therapy wanted to leave this review in case if anyone would find it helpful and is looking for a therapist!
Definitely recommend Demetrius, I was in a much darker place when just started therapy, it’s still a long way to go. However, I feel very much supported, and uplifted after our sessions. Just feels like there is someone ‘there’ for you. Sometimes I forget I talk to a therapist, as it feels like talking to a friend. Demetrius is also very non judgemental and guides towards the right direction very gently, without pushing as some therapists do. I never felt uncomfortable talking about anything, I have food for thought after our sessions. Thank you
