Hi, my name is Debbie Richert, LCMFT, LMAC. I have been working with couples and individuals for 11 years. My counseling style is pretty laid-back.

I have experience helping clients struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, adjustment issues, marital conflicts, and substance abuse among other mental health issues.

I would be honored to work with you to ease your distress and improve your quality of life.

Deborah has helped me achieve every goal I have set for myself and then some. We clicked right away and she made me feel totally safe and comfortable. I had never done therapy before this and Debbie has been absolutely amazing. She has never pushed me to talk about something I’m not ready for, but she encourages me to go into depth on the subjects I open up about. She had helped me learn my own self better than I ever could have alone. I have been asked “what is different with you” several times since starting therapy with Debbie. She makes it easy to open up.
