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 a multitude of issues including, but not limited to, 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.

She has been helping me so much. I feel confident after our sessions. I've never felt awkward for saying how I feel, or voicing my point of view.

Debbie was a great listener, and didn't judge my struggle at all. She was always ready with helpful work for me to do in between sessions, whether it was a worksheet or audiobook. She gave me exactly what I needed at this point in my journey. I would recommend anyone dealing with greif and depression, as I was, to Debbie. Thank you so much for listening to me Debbie, and helping me grow.

She is very insightful and thoughtful, yet concise and focused. If you take therapy seriously I recommend her. If you’re more on the fence perhaps not. I can confirm Debby is very frank, focused and effective. She responds professionally, is available quite often to provide the support you need and is willing to go the extra mile for you if you take her seriously.
