About me

Hello. My name is Debby Sawyer. I am licensed in the state of Nebraska. I have 33 years of experience with individuals who have faced anxiety/stress, grief/loss, anger issues, depression, trauma/abuse, ADD/ADHD, Addictions (including eating disorders), self-esteem/confidence, and parenting, I believe that you are the expert in your own life and know what works and doesn't work for you. I am here to support and advocate for you by walking beside you on your journey. I am very flexible and eclectic in my approach and try to make a positive impact pretty quickly in the therapy process as I don't believe that you should have to wait to start living your best life. My goal is to help empower you, so that you can be the best version of yourself.

Debbie has made a huge positive impact on my mental health. She’s a great listener and offers tips and tools to help with individual problems I’m dealing with. There’s never any judgement and she is always supportive. Talking with her doesn’t feel clinical, more like talking with a friend. I’m so grateful to Better Help for matching me with her. Would highly recommend Debbie.

Debby is great. She is experienced, knowledgeable, and empathetic. She listens with care and is willing to work with you on whatever issues you are facing. She is also great at recommending exercises, which I found to be therapeutic. Would recommend 100%.
