About me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with over 40 years of professional experience, including a 28-year career with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and four years as a medical social worker in a hospital setting. As an African American and Biracial therapist, I bring a unique perspective and understanding to my practice, appreciating the importance of culture and identity in shaping our experiences.

My extensive background has given me the privilege of helping individuals navigate challenges such as stress, anxiety, family conflicts, grief, loss, and depression. I am committed to providing a safe, respectful, and compassionate space where you can feel heard and supported. My approach is personalized, tailoring our conversations and treatment plans to suit your unique needs and goals.

I firmly believe that therapy is a powerful tool to guide us through life’s transitions and challenges, empowering you to build resilience and find clarity. If you’re ready to take the next step in your journey, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Let’s work together to create meaningful change in your life.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Deborah San Juan. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Thus far, my therapist has been very supportive, helpful, interested in getting to know me and able to let me see things from a different perspective. I’m genuinely connecting with her.

Deborah is very empathetic and supportive. She’s very easy to talk with, has a lot of tools in her box to help me, and on top of everything, very responsive to all my questions.
