LMSW, CASAC-M
Deja is intentional about uplifting marginalized voices by providing a safe space for growth, development, and healing as an ally for effective coping skills and strategies.
Deja Murrain is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and Master Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC-M), based in the New York City Metro Area. She graduated with a BA in Psychology from the City College of New York and an MSW from the Fordham University Graduate School of Social Work.
She believes that a culturally affirming approach empowers clients to walk into their best self with courage, compassion, awareness, and a renewed sense of resiliency. Her areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, grief and loss, body positivity, addiction, adjustment issues, anger management, domestic violence, life transitions, relationships, racial issues, women’s issues, perinatal support, and premarital counseling. Deja utilizes motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative framework, and a holistic and humanistic approach to guide clients through a custom-made path in the therapeutic environment.
I was referred to Transformation Counseling Services because I wanted and needed to work with African American/Black counselors to help me process some of my thoughts after a car crash involving myself and my child. I highly recommend them to Black folk and folk of color but I see how their services are for any human who needs to process any aspect of their life to unclog or make clear issues that are rooted in trauma or traumatic experiences.
Deja creates such a safe, affirming space. She never makes me feel judged, and her approach to addiction recovery combined with real talk therapy has changed how I see myself.
Deja's cultural awareness and warmth made all the difference. She meets me where I am and always centers my goals in every session.
