Personalized counseling for adults and adolescents.  Move at your own pace and set your own goals.  While some benefit from a few sessions to help process a current situation and gain information, others will benefit from a longer course of therapy in which to gently deconstruct patterns and needs while building confidence and clarity.  Individual counseling will help you assess your natural assets and redefine your problems into manageable steps.   

Most couples benefit from strengthening and practicing communication habits and skills in the presence of a non-judging mediator.  Having the aid of an observing eye helps you to navigate through intimacy needs and blocks while gaining more awareness of your partner's perspective.  Couple's therapy not only helps you to decode your partner, it helps you to decode yourself as you relate to the most important people in your life.

Substance abuse counseling will help you assess your recovery needs and self-sabotaging factors, and gain invaluable information about the latest recovery tools and practices.  No one path is right for everyone. Substance abuse counseling will help you evaluate the level of support needed and if necessary, can help you learn about rehab options.  Whether you are desiring to make some changes in your own life or would like to understand how to help and support a loved one with their substance abuse needs, counseling can help.

The reasons for family therapy are as varied as families themselves.  Helping families navigate challenging situations while building healthy boundaries and bridges of communication is a common goal of family therapy.  Maybe you would like to find ways of co-parenting and handling a separation, or better relate to your teen, or child with special needs. Family therapy can help you heal as a family from a tragic event and understand the individual needs and struggles of each member.  Children benefit the most when their environment is flourishing.  For this reason, children are not seen individually by Deborah but within the family context.

Ericksonian hypnosis, or sometimes called indirect hypnosis, uses natural hypnotic functions to help the mind move into a state of focused attention in order to access inner resources that promote change. Hypnosis can be a stand alone treatment, but is usually blended with other mindfulness and somatic techniques, along with talk therapy.
