Non-binary

Hello, I'm Deborah, and I'm here to meet you where you are and help you work toward your goals in life. Whether you're feeling uncertain about what constitutes a meaningful life or navigating through anxiety, depression, or significant life changes, we'll work together to find clarity and healing. If you're exploring gender identity, sexual orientation, or any aspect of our LGBTQ+ community, I'm here to support you in becoming comfortable with the wonderful human you are.

With nearly 30 years of experience, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of individuals. My background spans community mental health, inpatient and outpatient settings, federal employee assistance programs, the VA, and private practice. This extensive experience has equipped me to understand and support people from all walks of life. While I welcome and serve all people, you will never find a stronger advocate than me for individuals who identify as members of historically marginalized groups. I hear you. I see you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, having graduated from the Brown School of Social Work at Washington University in St. Louis. Additionally, I completed post-graduate training in Marriage and Family Therapy through the Karl Menninger School of Psychiatry. One of my significant post-graduate trainings was the 6-month certification process in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) through Behavioral Tech, Dr. Marsha Linehan's training company. DBT's strong mindfulness component integrates well with cognitive-behavioral therapies, and I find it essential in my practice.

Currently, I work exclusively with adults (18 and older), and my practice is informed by all my training, focusing on what works best for each client. My specialties include OCD, spirituality, addiction, ADHD, medical issues, sleep disorders, anxiety, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, depression, family relationships, gender identity, grief, LGBTQIA+ support, life transitions, military/veteran support, multicultural/diversity issues, PTSD, stress, suicidal ideation, self-harming, trauma, and traumatic brain injury. I also offer SonderMind Video Telehealth for those who prefer virtual sessions.

If you're ready to start this journey together, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Let's work together to create the meaningful life you deserve.

How do we select providers listed on PsychHub.com?

The care options presented consist of treatment providers that we have assessed to be quality providers across a range of services for mental health, substance use, relationships, and other well-being needs. We aim to include only high quality providers and multiple viable options for those seeking care.

What is the relationship between Psych Hub and these providers?

The providers listed on our site are all independent entities from Psych Hub. We only list providers where we have a contractual relationship with a network, group, or practice that a provider is a part of, or where we have a direct contractual relationship with the provider. That contract governs the terms of participation on the Psych Hub site, and in some cases, as mentioned below, the provider’s, group’s, or network’s use of Psych Hub's educational content. There is no other affiliation between Psych Hub and the providers listed on our site.

Do participating providers pay us?

To make our site free for consumers, Psych Hub receives fees from provider groups, networks, or individual providers to connect with potential clients who are a fit for their services. Some also purchase Psych Hub's educational content for practitioner training and client support. These fees enable us to operate our service, including screening and updating information on each provider.

How do we determine which ones to display?

Rather than make specific provider recommendations, we present options and information so you can make an informed decision on what provider best fits your needs. Where we have multiple participating providers, we present multiple options (and where we don't, we prioritize adding more options to our site over time). We present providers whose capabilities, insurance coverage, availability and other attributes best match your stated needs. If many providers appear to equally meet your needs, we display a selection of them at random. Our decision on which participating providers to display is never impacted by the amount of fees we receive from them.

What causes us to remove providers from our site?

We require that providers meet all licensing requirements of states where they offer services. If a provider loses their license, they are removed from our site for that state or service. We also seek feedback from users on providers they find on our site. We investigate significant negative feedback and remove providers if we conclude that to be appropriate.
