I’ve worked in a variety of mental health fields, including inpatient & outpatient psychiatric programs, residential treatment facilities, & a handful of private practices. These experiences have given me a multi-faceted view of the spectrum of care for mental health. I believe it has allowed me to truly understand every side of mental health treatment.

Therapist

Life can shift unexpectedly-and when it does, the stress, trauma, or emotional pain can leave you feeling lost,

isolated, or overwhelmed. Whether you're healing from abuse, facing a major transition, navigating

relationship stress, or coping with anxiety or depression, therapy can offer a path toward clarity, peace, and

renewal. You're not alone.

Deborah Gardner

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 5.2 mi away • Plano, TX


I earned my Master of Science in Social Work at the University of Texas at Arlington in 2003. I had the privilege of starting in the field of sexual abuse/violence, which began my real-life education. I've continued my study of trauma, and in family dynamics. This continues to shape my growth. I have years of experience working in psychiatric hospitals with those struggling with severe mental illness. The one thing that I've learned and want to share is this: people can (and do!) get better.
