Welcome! I’m Glad You’re Here.

Hi, I’m Demetric Watkins, and I’m honored to be part of your journey toward greater mental wellness. Life can be unpredictable, and whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity challenges, or simply feeling overwhelmed, know that you don’t have to do it alone. At Made For You Wellness & Consulting Services, my mission is to provide a supportive space where you can gain clarity, build confidence, and embrace your strengths to create meaningful, lasting change in your life.

A Bit About Me

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with over six years of clinical experience, specializing in working with adolescents, adults, and couples. My journey in the mental health field began with earning my master’s degree in Rehabilitation & Mental Health Counseling from the University of South Florida in Spring 2019. Since then, I have provided compassionate, person-centered care across a variety of settings, including:

• Community mental health centers
• Academic environments (K-12 & post-secondary)
• Juvenile justice programs
• Crisis stabilization units
• Outpatient clinics

As a strong advocate for diverse and LGBTQ+ communities, I understand the importance of culturally affirming care. My approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and deeply rooted in authenticity and connection—because I believe that healing happens when people feel truly seen, heard, and valued.

Beyond the Therapy Room

My work in mental health extends beyond one-on-one counseling. With over 15 years of corporate and nonprofit leadership experience, I am deeply committed to making mental health care more accessible, equitable, and community-driven. For the past four years, I have served as President & CEO of NAMI Hillsborough, leading initiatives that provide education, advocacy, and support for individuals and families affected by mental illness, especially those from underserved communities.

Whether I’m working with a client in session or advocating for mental health policy change, my passion remains the same: to create spaces where healing, connection, and growth are possible.
