What Is Therapy?
Counseling Reviews
“I remember when I first met Deborah about ten years ago, I was in hell. She helped me out of hell, and I was able to rethink the relationship with my parents. When I needed her again last year, she gave me all the tools to help myself walk out of the mud. I really appreciate her way of therapy. It really, really helped me. Today, I am ready to live my life fully and to experience it all. She inspired me when she told me the reason she wanted to open Well Baby Center on Venice Boulevard and set the prices the way she did was that she wanted quality therapy available for typical working families without a lot of disposable income. I am one of those people who have definitely benefited from your practice.”
– Emily, Pacific Palisades
“I want to take a minute here to thank you, Deborah, for giving me such strong and powerful advice that I have never thought about before. Thank you for the tools you shared with me – to be gentle and tender to myself and try to soothe myself the way I have always wanted from other people. I just looked up some mindfulness journal ideas; I want to give it a try when just sitting there trying to stop me from acting out.”
– Gloria Lee, Brentwood
