I take an integrative, client-centered approach to therapy, tailoring treatment to each individual’s unique needs, experiences, and goals. My work draws from a range of evidence-based modalities, including humanistic, psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and trauma-informed approaches.
I believe that many of the patterns, coping strategies, and protective mechanisms we develop early in life serve an important purpose, helping us navigate difficult experiences and environments. As adults, however, some of these same patterns may no longer support the life we want to live. Together, we work to understand these longstanding dynamics with curiosity and compassion, while creating space for new ways of relating to ourselves and others.

My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and curious. I strive to create an affirming, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to explore challenges and vulnerabilities. At the same time, I believe growth often requires honest reflection and, when appropriate, gentle challenge. I also value the role of humor in the therapeutic process and find that it can be a powerful tool for building connection, fostering perspective, and supporting healing.

I work with adults, couples, and adolescents, with a particular focus on supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community. My goal is to help clients deepen self-understanding, strengthen relationships, and make meaningful, lasting changes aligned with their values.

I am a fully licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York State and a board-certified National Certified Counselor (NCC). I am also currently pursuing certification as a sex therapist through the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT).

It is my belief that every person, from all walks of life, has their own struggles with mental health. Therapy can be utilized to help us become more self-aware and as a result be more self-sufficient. I take a psychodynamic approach in which I work with you to dive deep into the psychological roots of your emotional processes. In other words, I help you develop a deeper understanding of your emotional and mental well-being. 

I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of New York, fluent in English and Arabic. I earned a bachelor's degree in Psychology from Hofstra University, and soon after went on to earn a master's degree in Mental Health Counseling at SUNY College of Old Westbury. I had the opportunity to complete a clinical internship at Rikers Island working with the incarcerated population. Working with such a complex and diverse population not only allowed me to learn the true value of therapy but, that therapy truly works best when customized to the needs of the individual.

I aim to work with clients with the goal of creating an individualized treatment plan that helps to focus and improve on the areas of their life that may be lacking or in disarray. I have extensive experience working with patients experiencing anxiety, depression, personality disorders, mood disorders, as well as trauma and issues surrounding culture/diversity. 

Deborah is a relational psychotherapist who works with individuals and couples in an attuned and compassionate manner. She is especially interested in helping people to heal from anxiety, depression, and grief; to recover from trauma (recent or long ago); to navigate complex relationships, ADHD, or the numerous challenges and transitions at all stages of life. She has specialized training in EMDR for trauma and mindfulness approaches for anxiety and depression.

Prior to becoming a therapist, Deborah practiced as a family law attorney, working with those struggling with family dissolution, domestic violence, and emotional strain. She also has worked in education, in the theater as an actor and director, and as a journalist for ABC News. In addition, Deborah is the mother of four “young adult” children. Deborah sees each of these professional and personal paths as having intertwined throughout her life, ultimately enabling her to become the therapist she is today. Whether her clients are facing difficult transitions, trying to reconnect with themselves, or struggling with relationships or stress, Deborah integrates various treatment modalities to help them navigate their challenges, develop clarity and move towards greater happiness. It is Deborah’s belief that therapy at its best helps people to look at the stories they carry so that they can lighten their load.

Deborah received her Master’s in Mental Health and Wellness Counseling from New York University (NYU). She obtained her BA with high honors from Harvard University and her JD with honors from the University of Pennsylvania School of Law.

Life can be overwhelming and most of us do not have the space or the support we need to cope with life challenges. As a therapist, I provide a safe space for clients to engage in the process of self-discovery. I put a lot of emphasis on the therapeutic relationship as I believe this relationship is the catalyst for change. I like to meet clients where they are at while providing the support and structure they need. I consider myself to be emphatic, honest and non-judgmental. I strive to provide my clients with compassionate and high-quality counseling.

I have experience working with clients from different age groups and diverse ethnic background attending therapy for an array of issues such as mood disturbances, depression, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, domestic violence, trauma, stress, life transitions, and anger issues. The approach and techniques I use in therapy are based on the needs of the client. Most commonly used approaches are CBT, family systems therapy, play/art therapies, and humanistic approach. I also conduct therapy in the Spanish language for those clients in need of a bilingual therapist.

I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor. I completed my BA in Forensic Psychology and minor in human services at John Jay College. I obtained my MA in Mental Health Counseling from New York University.

I am a Brooklyn native and senior psychotherapist who is proficient in working with clients to broaden their awareness of themselves, their thoughts, and their feelings. My primary goals are to: provide counseling through a sex positive and inclusive framework and provide a therapeutic space that is non-judgmental, authentic, respectful, and collaborative. I earned my Bachelor’s in Psychology and Master’s degree in Mental Health & Counseling at Hofstra University. I have always been passionate about helping others and have been in the field of psychology for over 7 years. As a clinician, I work with adolescents and adults who have experienced or are living life with trauma, depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, mood disturbances, and/or grief.

I offer therapy that is largely rooted in trauma-informed, person-centered, and evidence-based approaches. I specialize in Eye-movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, an evidence-based approach effective in treating: anger, emotional eating, procrastination/avoidance behaviors/indecision, relationship enrichment/healing, and stress management to name a few.

If there was a quote that personifies the essence of my clinical theory it is: “Therapy is not only about gaining insight, but also about making real changes in your life. Together, not only will we work towards developing more compassion and awareness, but also to bring practical solutions and coping skills into life.”With me, we can explore and discuss how past experiences, identity, and internalized systems may get in the way of your ability to live a life that feels purposeful, fulfilling, and mentally balanced.

Whenever you are ready, I am here to listen and create space for all your emotions, the tolerable and intolerable ones!

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I believe that everyone needs a safe space and trusted person to share their personal struggles. My style of counseling focuses on the counselor client relationship. Using person centered approaches, I provide a safe space, where we as counselor and client develop a rapport, so you feel heard and understood. Once a trusting rapport is established, I will work with you at your own pace, through the stages of change, to help you accomplish your goals and achieve overall wellness.

I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Psychology from Queens College and a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. John’s University. During my final year at St. John’s University, I interned at the PAC Program of Queens. During my internship, I worked with clients who struggled with substance abuse, anxiety, anger management and domestic violence.

I believe that building a trusting, collaborative relationship is at the heart of healing. My goal is to help you feel safe, supported, and empowered throughout your therapeutic journey. If stress, perfectionism, daily life stressors, or trying to please others is hindering your daily life, you are not alone. I specialize in working with individuals who are struggling with panic, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, relationship stressors, and the emotional aftermath of difficult life experiences.

In our first few sessions, we begin to get to know one another, understand what you might currently be struggling with and the origins of those struggles. Once we have built a foundation, we can then begin incorporating coping skills and utilizing therapeutic interventions tailored to you as an individual.

Therapy with me is collaborative and compassionate, free of judgment and focused on helping you to feel calmer, more connected with others, and in control of your life. If you're ready to begin your journey toward healing, I’m here to help.

Committed to meeting clients at their unique life juncture, I provide a nurturing, empathetic, and non-judgmental space for the therapeutic journey. My work is grounded in the belief that the relationship between one’s inner world and outer circumstances can be both a source of struggle and a terrain for healing.

My approach is integrative, holistic, and multiculturally informed. Drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), reality therapy, and mindfulness, I tailor each session to the individual. As an EMDRIA-approved EMDR therapist, I am trained to support clients in processing trauma at a deeper level. I also work with couples to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and navigate relational challenges — and I serve as a clinical supervisor for emerging mental health professionals.

Holding a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from New York University and an advanced certificate in LGBT Health, Education, and Social Services, my training is complemented by hands-on experience as a residential counselor in psychiatric hospitals and group homes.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, multicultural identity, relationship issues, and LGBTQ+ experiences, with a deep commitment to creating a space where every client feels seen, respected, and empowered.
