Great to meet you!

Hello, nice to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York with many years of experience as an administrator and therapist. My primary areas of practice are Depression, Anxiety, Substance Abuse/Dependence and LGBTQ concerns. I've gained a tremendous amount of experience in a variety of agency-based settings.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Debra's approach to therapy is both person-centered

and solution focused. No two individuals should have the same approach to therapy. Therefore, clients are directly involved in developing treatment goals and directing their session time.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients will leave their sessions feeling heard and validated.

There will be opportunity to learn new skills for coping and over time clients will see and feel the improvement in their overall quality of life.

Debra's style is

Affirming
Solution-oriented
Empowering

Insurance carriers Debra accepts
