Deborah rocks as a therapist. Because of my mental health diagnosis, I have worked with different therapists with varying levels of professional experience. Deborah brings a lot of experience to our sessions. She quickly clarified the issues I want/need to work through. She brings solutions that are very specific to my needs. Very lucky to have her working with me.
