Deborah Wood, LCMHC, LPC
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, particularly, specialize in working with women. 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.

She listens , really applying past experience to my present way of handling my current life actions

I feel safe, heard, and seen in every session with Deb. I feel more supported and confident to advocate for myself and be more open and honest outside of therapy as well, as a result, which I'm super grateful for!

She is caring.
She checks in, but leaves space too.

Deb is the best. She is kind and listens intently. I always feel heard and Deb meets me with nothing but compassion. When I signed up for BetterHelp, I felt lost and frustrated, my relationship was on the rocks, and I didn't know how to navigate my emotions. Deb and I have worked through these issues (and more) together and with her help I have gained more clarity and calmness in my life. I have a stronger sense of self and have learned to trust my intuition. I appreciate Deb and her infinite wisdom!
