Hi, I'm Dr. Deborah Story. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience helping people work through life's challenges and feel more like themselves again. I'm warm, open-minded, and not afraid to bring a little humor into the room when it helps. Therapy doesn’t have to be stiff or serious all the time - we can do real work while also making space to breathe, reflect, and even laugh. I've worked with people from all walks of life, and I genuinely love getting to know what makes each person unique. My job is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and ready to take the next step.
