I have talked with Debra Fitzgerald only twice so far, but the Lady has a wonderful listening ear, compassion, understanding and some great advice. I feel like I can trust her, and she can relate to current situations I find myself in with my aging mother. Debra has empathy, and she seems always willing to listen, and gently suggests what I can do to lift my spirit and refocus on what is a healthier outlook! I look forward to working with her more and I would highly recommend her! Because of her friendly sense of compassion and understanding and patience with me rambling on, I think I can call her friend. Thanks Debra - <3

I have had a lot of therapist. Some have been good, some have been terrible. Ohhhh…but Debra is great. She’s kind. Funny. Intelligent. She helps you to understand yourself. She’s very supportive. I feel as if I’m talking to a friend.

I’ve only had one session so far. I can confidently say Debra is amazing at her job! She made me feel comfortable heard and was a great listener. I can’t wait to work with her more in the future. I’d highly recommend her to anyone wanting to just talk or work on their own mental health. I love how this app has helped erase the stigma around mental health.
