Hi, I'm Debra "Debbie" Pittman. I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) in Arkansas. I have been compassionately and non-judgmentally working to assist others with making positive changes to their lives for 15 years. I have worked with people challenged by depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, and other life changing circumstances. My counseling style is warm, holistic and supportive. I strive to help educate, strengthen and empower others, so they are more confident in living their life to the fullest. I meet you where you are, listen to learn where you want to go and work with you to assist you to work out a road map to get there. I then also walk with you to help you along your journey. As no two people are alike, we tailor your plan to your unique and specific need. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life. Taking the first steps towards change can be scary. If you are ready to take that step, it would be my honor to assist, support and empower you along your path.

Debbie is an incredible sounding board. She always helps in ways that always focus on the positive, and helps me see things that emotional blinders prevent me from seeing on my own. She feels like a trusted friend that's always got my back and always rooting for me to succeed. She never downplays the bad stuff but helps me to find ways to work thru it.

Debra is someone whom I've come to trust during session 1. She's not just a educated therapist, she has what I refer to as "street cred". She knows what she is talking about and I find her worksheets, advice, and style of teaching to be optimally therapeutic for me. I will continue therapy with Debra and not be afraid of the bad things in my past. I feel brave enough to walk through with Debra.
