Therapeutic Services
Seeking therapeutic services to meet your needs, is really based on your values, goals and desires. The timing of support is not as essential as the type of support , as we are on a constant change continuum and Deborah works with people on the length of that continuum. Deborah brings to her practice extensive experience working throughout New York City schools and community organizations with parents, children and families along with training in Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Restorative Practices, Mindfulness and Creative Arts Therapy. She believes you are the expert on your own life and supports you, from a place of compassion and acceptance, in accessing your inner resources in order to achieve your greatest self. If you would like to learn more about her practice or how she could support you or your child please contact her for a 15 minute phone consultation.

Art Therapy
Art therapy is a psychotherapeutic modality that supports people to unlock emotions and express underlying fears, feelings and focus. Deborah believes wholeheartedly that creativity is our first language, whether it be music, movement or marks on a page. Children, adolescents and adults need not be skilled artists to benefit from the integration of the creative process.
Couples Counseling
Deborah works with couples to develop lines of effective communication in order to move past barriers that are preventing the relationship from growing. Together, she helps couples highlight relational strengths and practice empathic listening and mirroring. She also supports parenting couples in identifying their values and aligning their practices in order to nurture their child’s development.
