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.

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.
