About Us

Introspection Counseling Center was founded by Dr. Dierdra Oretade-Branch, LCSW, BCD in September 2021 to meet the increasing demand for qualified mental health providers during the global pandemic. As a minority, veteran, and women-owned business, Introspection Counseling Center prides itself on providing a diverse, supportive, and inclusive environment for the individuals we serve.

Since its establishment Introspection Counseling Center has grown to be a premier multi-state, private mental health counseling center providing an array of online mental health services to adults in Delaware, New Jersey, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.

In 2025, Introspection Counseling Center was honored to receive the Delaware EDGE (Encouraging Development, Growth & Expansion) Grant, awarded by the Delaware Division of Small Business. This competitive grant supports our commitment to advancing mental health equity and has enabled us to expand our services to include in-person therapy and psychiatric medication management at our new location in Wilmington, Delaware. Through this expansion, we aim to provide accessible, high-quality care to more individuals in need across our community.
