Dr. Kutner is phenomenal - she's not "just a therapist" who sits back, nods, and asks how you feel. She's truly a friend who engages with you and makes you feel heard - offering a ton of knowledge and expertise from the HEART. SO thankful for her and her wisdom, humor, and kind-hearted spirit!

This is my third set of sessions with Deb, I come back every year for 3 months and it has been three years now. I trust in her expertise and professionalism. Talking things out with her has given me the courage to face the storm of life, and I think I owe part of my life success to her; for me to enjoy life more and be more productive in my work. Thank you, Deb. :)

Deb is the best!

Deb is a life saver. I have come out of a dark tunnel thanks to her. She’s not stiff, formal and careless like many therapists I saw before her. Her feminism makes her so much more mature and progressive too. I just couldn’t have felt better without her. I am so glad I found her.

Therapy with Dr. Kutner (aka Deb!) has been a lifesaver for me during this global pandemic. Deb meets you where you are and facilitates self-compassion and self-acceptance. I’m so grateful to have found such a brilliant therapist; her feminist approach and open-minded worldview made her the perfect match for me. If you are looking for a kind, compassionate, warm and understanding therapist who can help you feel better, Deb is the one!

Conversations with Deb feels just like having a chat with your most trusted friend - easy and relaxed. We would always start with a comfortable, casual chat, then I'd describe my issues or thoughts, and Deb would share her ideas and perspectives in helping me process my thoughts, or identify the core of the rumination. We would also work on themes (on relationships in particular) for the week which helped me in staying focused on my goals.

As someone who is new to therapy, I was initially hesitant and was feeling uncomfortable about the whole process. However, my experience with Deb has certainly made me a believer in the efficacy of therapy (especially for personal growth) and would highly recommend her for anyone who is curious about trying it out.

Dr. Kutner goes above and beyond to help her clients. She does not use a one size fits all approach, but gets to know you and then utilizes many methods to help you and discover how to best help yourself. Her style enables you to examine all aspects of your life and her kind, nurturing style makes it easy to be upfront and open. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is going through a life transition and is looking for a compassionate therapist to guide them through.

With Dr. Kutner, I love that I feel supported and treated with care with my personal experiences. She is gentle, caring, friendly, and has a depth of knowledge that I believe makes her a great therapist to work with. I genuinely feel lucky to have been able to work with her.

Written on Oct 25, 2019 after therapy with Deborah (Deb) for 1 year and 5 months on issues concerning relationship issues, and family conflicts

I spent weeks reading therapist biographies and reviews on the BetterHelp website before taking the step to sign up. I didn't know what to expect. Fear and anxiety played a big part in my life. Signing up for this website and working with Deb changed all that. Deb's gracious and compassionate nature gently guided me to a different way of looking at the world. Without a single negative word, she helped me. If you're reading this, and you are unsure about the next step... I can tell you that you're already making it by being here. Welcome to your next step, you're in great hands with Deb :)

Dr Kutner came into my life when I needed a therapist just like her. She is compassionate, intelligent and professional. Her ability to "get me" and understand issues at hand is witness to her capacity to listen without judgement. Thanks Deb!

Written on Sep 01, 2019 after therapy with Deborah (Deb) for 6 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, lgbt, relationship issues, family conflicts, intimacy-related issues, sleeping disorders, parenting issues, self esteem, and depression

I love therapy but have lost some of my faith in it as I’ve learned more about the ways that the more harmful aspects of our culture operates through it, often invisibly. And with how typical therapeutic approaches are not trauma-informed and fail to account for the full picture of what contributes to the stressors that bring us to therapy - the very real social, political, and environmental factors that go beyond our “mindset” or individual psychology. Working with Dr. Kutner is a breath of fresh air and genuinely helpful, as she comes from a feminist approach and looks at the whole picture. I would highly recommend her!

Written on Jul 30, 2019 after therapy with Deborah (Deb) for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self esteem, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue

Dr. Kutner has dedicated herself to helping me grow and improve in ways I couldn’t have imagined. I have experienced so many “Aha!” moments that have allowed me to understand myself in a new way.

I was honestly about to give up after my first experience and decided to give it one more try. I am so thankful I did. Dr. Kutner has been a God send. She has given me hope when I truly thought there wasn't any. She is nothing short of amazing. The tools she has already given me in this short period of time I will utilize for life. It is a blessing to be able to talk to someone without judgement and they totally get you. I am just grateful for her.

After trying many counselors, I have been so thrilled to meet Dr. Deb! Unlike others, she doesn't throw worksheets and reflections at me, and she doesn't say the same thing repeatedly. She really listens and connects with me as a human being. I honestly think she'd be a great match for anyone because she's just so good!

I hesitated a long time before trying Pride Counseling, and after just a few minutes with Dr. Kutner I knew that I made the right choice, it was entirely worth it. I don't think I could have a better counselor!

Written on Jun 08, 2018 after therapy with Deborah (Deb) for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship, family, trauma and abuse, and self esteem

Deb is like the wise confidante I've always wanted but with all the knowledge of a professional! She is kind, compassionate and really listens. Deb read my messages and responded to all of my concerns. I really felt like she really cared and listened.I didn't feel like she was distracted or didn't care just because I wasn't there in person. I didn't miss actually seeing my therapist in person or getting live feedback in normal conversation. For me this was just like regular, in person therapy but better. I had plenty of time to really think and process what Deb said. I had time to reflect and write my responses. I didn't feel rushed like in person. I wasn't going to run out of time. And my written conversations with her work as a journal. I've never journaled before. But now I have written records of our conversations for reference and guidance anytime I need it. You can't do that in regular therapy unless you take notes.That's really hard when you're crying in person and going through all of your therapist's Kleenex! What I got instead was an invaluable feeling of having someone to talk to that I could count on: a support system that I don't have in real life. From a person that would not criticize or judge. Which I guess is true for all therapists, but Deb Kutner is a gifted listener and healer with a warm and welcoming presence. You've got someone now! You just get this vibe that you're safe with her. And everything will be okay. I haven't gotten that vibe with every therapist I've had. Bonus, no stress relating to commuting to her office! I was so worried online therapy wouldn't work. Honestly the first therapist I tried didn't work for me. But it was easy to switch. No need to stress. No awkward phone call or in person breakup with a therapist! Better help customer service is great. They responded quickly and answered all my questions. So if you have any doubts, go for it. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose.
Thank you Deb. Thank you so much for your help during such a difficult time in my life!
