Written on Sep 23, 2024 after therapy with Debra for 5 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, grief, eating disorders, self esteem, and coping with life changes

Debra is a wonderful support to me. There hasn’t been a session where I haven’t thought there was a plan in place for me. She provides very easy steps to take and everything seems achievable. I have been seeking support around communication in my marriage, and I leave every session feeling confident in what I can do to work on this and myself.
