You can experience a great change in your life working with Deborah. She offers straight answers, no judgement, encouragement, and consistently responds with Biblical truth and the Word of God to every issue. For someone who was double-minded in everything, she helped pull the boat out of the waves and get me back to solid ground.”

I have been seeing Deborah weekly for about 8 months and I’m beyond grateful that I came across her and proud to call her my therapist. She is so kind and understanding, always easy to provide that strength and support. She has definitely taught me so much and continues to do so. One of my favorite things about having Deborah as my therapist is that she challenges me on those uncomfortable and difficult questions that I sometimes avoid asking myself, but I understand that is how growth and healing happens. I love the relationship and connection she has with the Lord and how she’s always reminding me of his word and how she takes the time to pray with me. Words can’t express how much I appreciate everything she does and the positive impact she has had in my life. I highly recommend her as a counselor/therapist. -Camille
Deborah has been a God send! Not only has she helped our marriage, she has helped us individually as well in our areas of struggle. We have grown so much in the time that we have seen her and we are so grateful for her insight, guidance and support. She truly cares about her clients and we feel we have gained a friend that we could count on at anytime. – Renay
When I came to Deborah I was hopeless, I hated life, I hated myself, and I had fear of everything around me in the world. I was on the road to self destruction. But every now and then God puts angels on earth on our path and that is definitely what Deborah has been to my family. I won’t ever forget my first counseling session with her I walked out of that room and felt the ton of bricks on my chest lift! The way she listens to you and tells you things that you really need to hear. I won’t forget when I told her I had no faith and she said, you can borrow mine. In my head I was thinking yeah, right! I’m going to need a lot more of that or how would I ever give this back to you? How can I borrow some thing I don’t have to give back .. then that’s when I realized that was the mustard seed of faith she helped plant in me, helping me water and nurture it every counseling session. I now have faith, communication skills, and most importantly love for myself (something I never had). When I came to Deborah I was hopeless, suicidal, and hated life but she helped me see the bigger picture and acknowledged me with so much knowledge. She healed me and my family in ways I couldn’t ever imagine and helped me save myself from myself, helping me become a better mother, wife, friend, and person to be around. She helped me become the person that I’ve always wanted to be but didn’t know how. She helped me grow in my faith and she helped me grow in a relationship with God! Not forced, not ever forced. Her tough but gentle love is exactly what I needed and her passion to help people is just amazing! -From Hopeless to Saved
My experience with Deborah as my therapist has been a huge blessing. I started talking with Deborah shortly after I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. From the very start I knew God had connected us. Each session seemed to bring to light exactly what I needed at that time. Her sincere and prayful approach was exactly what I wanted and needed. Through the past several months, speaking with Deborah has been very helpful in dealing with past emotions and current ones that either played a part in my diagnosis or have come from the diagnosis. I am very thankful God placed her on my recovery team! I believe she is very much impacting my healing and recovery. – Healing Day by Day
“She truly listened!” I had been struggling with recurring depression for over 20 years. I had been to many counselors but never seemed to be able to get out of the depression cycle. I would go to my psychiatrist and get meds then go to counselors who taught me skills and tools to deal with the symptoms. I was taught how to respond and think. I met Deborah when I decided to try a different approach. I decided to integrate my christian faith into the process rather than continue to learn more clinical skills. It meant I would have to abandon my insurance but it was a game changer! It was after my first session with Deborah that I realized that for the first time in over 20 years I had truly been heard. Deborah understood the clinical side of my diagnosis but she focused more on me and the story behind my diagnosis. She continued to truly listen to me and the unfolding of my story and gave back to me what I didn’t realize I needed. After years of struggling I was finally able to understand why I was dealing with this depression and how my thoughts and choices were impacting it. I was finally able to begin making progress to overcoming it. I am still on that road of healing but it has already shown change and renewed hope. I have more joy, my relationships are improving, I have a healthier image of who God is in my life, and most importantly I have decreased in the dosage and amount of medications I was taking. I know God led me to Deborah and I am thankful for the changes in my life ever since. – Shelly Mitchell
This woman understands narcissistic abuse and its twisted patterns better than any therapist I have seen before and not afraid to confront it. If that is what your dealing with look no further. – Susan G.
I found Deborah in a time when I felt like my marriage was failing and even questioning if we were meant to be together. Something needed to change for me to be happy. It’s easy to get on a track where you are bickering back and forth over lots of small things to the point you don’t know why you are arguing. My husband and I both got married at a young age and we both endured painful upbringings. This really affected us and our marriage more than we realized. Deborah helped us see that. She helped us realize we have the same morals in common and we are a great couple together, we just had major communication issues. Therapy took commitment and many months to get where we are now but if you are looking to fight for your marriage it is so worth it. I can now say I am more in love with my husband than ever and we have a sweet baby boy on the way. This doesn’t mean that our marriage is perfect but I try to think back to therapy techniques and to communicate correctly. Deborah Listens when you speak, thinks before she speaks, and really takes time to understand your situation. She is so kind hearted, has a strong love for God, and a true passion to help people. I’m so blessed to have been able to come across her name the day I was desperate searching on the internet for a therapist. – Brokenhearted to Blessed
