Deborah has been amazing. She responds quickly and has the ability to work through to the core of my issues and gives me the tools to deal with them. While working with me, Deborah is fully focused on helping me heal and become the person I want to be again. With Deborah's help I have no doubt I will achieve that goal.

I instantly felt a connection with Mrs. Deborah. She never misses any point I try to convey in my messages to her, and the worksheets she asks me to work through literally make me think differently and approach life's situations from a better reference point. Any communication and therapy done with Mrs. Deborah will absolutely be worth your time. I assure you! Just be brave, and get started! You won't regret it.

I have just started with Deborah. We haven't really covered a whole lot at this point but I feel very comfortable and confident talking to her. She's been a voice of reason already, helping me to set goals and find a starting point which I appreciate greatly. I've had other therapists that did not understand my needs to organize my way to successful therapy. Deborah has already made me feel less overwhelmed about choosing a place to begin and moving forward. She just simply seems like a very compassionate sensible and experienced counsellor. I feel good talking to her openly and trusting her to guide me.
