About Dr. Fraize

Darrell has been practicing mental health counseling since 1998. Until Onward, Darrell focused primarily on residential and wilderness treatment environments. Onward is partly an extension of the private practice he established in 2013, where he helped adolescents and emerging adults, virtually and in person, transition out of treatment programs and into conventional school and work settings. Darrell has also worked in public and private schools, community recreation, and summer camps and has taught at undergraduate and graduate levels. His research interests include the developmental stages of emerging and established adulthood, as well as job satisfaction and employee retention in mental health organizations. Darrell provides weekly group and individual clinical supervision to all Onward’s staff members and guides the weekly treatment team meeting.
