Written on Sep 24, 2023 after therapy with Deborah for 2 months on issues concerning relationship issues, grief, and coping with life changes
I think she’s great, she really listens to you but also the therapy sessions are more like a discussion that helps you feel more open to accepting change rather than feeling like you have homework and you have to change/improve yourself so much. I had a feeling she would be the right match for me. Thank you Dr.Newman

She is loving and gentle. She is empathetic and wise. She has taught me how to express my thoughts in a manner in which I can be proud of and get my point across.

Dr. Newman remembers details and is just in all a really neat person.

Dr. Newman is a very experienced, knowledgeable and intuitive therapist who captures with a few questions the main topics that need to be taken care of. She listens when it is time to listen and speaks and (re)acts when appropriate. The sessions with her are not only helpful in processing issues but are simply a moment of self-care, of self-reloading. I can warmly recommend her.

We haven't started doing counciling sessions as I had hoped because of a financial issue I currently have and I need to get refunded before I can start doing the sessions properly. As I did not expect 168 to come out of my account only 26 euro is what I expected to be withdrawn weekly. As I do not have much money to cover as I need it for rent , food, electricity, phone bill, etc..
