I care deeply for my clients and I have many who have chosen regular

and long term therapy and find video support online helpful to build a rapport once they start to work with me. They like that I can RELATE to their issues and SEE & HEAR them as an INDIVIDUAL. I have experience in helping clients with depression complex grief, stress and anxiety, trauma and I have specific training in historic sexual abuse Domestic violence issues childhood sexual abuse abuse, ACE, CPTSD, self esteem and attachment issues and MENOPAUSE in both male and female which is associated

in coping with grief and loss, & intimacy related issues.

I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am PROUD of you and FOR YOU getting started! Welcome, Namaste. Love and light Debby.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

In my ongoing journey of self-discovery and healing, Debby has been an indispensable guide and companion. From our very first session, it was evident that she possesses a rare gift for creating a space where one feels truly seen, heard, and understood. Debby's approach is deeply personal, tailored to my individual needs and experiences. She navigates moments of vulnerability with grace and empathy, offering a reassuring presence that instills a sense of calm amidst the storm. Her professionalism shines through, yet it is her genuine care and compassion that truly set her apart. Every session with Debby is a step forward, a journey toward greater understanding and growth. With her guidance, I have felt empowered to confront challenges and embrace opportunities for change. Through her support, I have discovered strength within myself that I never knew existed. In Debby, I have found not just a therapist, but a true ally on the path to healing. Her unwavering dedication and unwavering commitment to my well-being have made all the difference. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled partner in their own journey of self-discovery.
