Deborah Wood

(MA, LCP)

About Me

I am a certified licensed therapist in two states with over thirty years of experience. I received my degree from Antioch University Seattle and have worked with adults in a variety of settings throughout my career. I employ a person-centered approach based on respect, knowledge, and empowerment.

Finding the right therapist is not easy. Often times a degree or years of experience can be irrelevant as it relates to a successful therapeutic connection. I believe in a counseling session an individual needs to feel comfortable, heard, and valued by a therapist. I can offer someone these integral pieces as a therapist, as well as, genuinely caring about the individual's experiences.

Feel free to contact me with any questions regarding how I work, availability, etc. I look forward to hearing from you and working with you.
