Telehealth throughout the State of Florida  

I work with people who feel overwhelmed by life and feel they have no control.

Sometimes they have difficulty making changes in their lives, despite numerous efforts in the past. You may feel disconnected from those around you and feel no one understands you or you don’t understand yourself.

Over the years, I realized that being a therapist was a perfect fit for me.

I love to help people reach their goals and learn to accept themselves by exploring behaviors that no longer serve them and heal from past trauma. Getting to see my clients grow and bloom and find their self-worth and value drives me each day in this work. When people heal from past trauma and develop a relationship with themself that is when change and growth happens. It’s a beautiful thing and truly a gift to witness that healing.

For parents and couples striving to nurture both their partnerships and their children, the journey can be beautiful, yet challenging. As a dedicated pre-licensed mental health therapist, I deeply understand the intricacies of co-parenting, the evolving stages of child development, and the dedication required to maintain a thriving relationship. 

I received my master's degree from Nova Southeastern University and bring with me a wealth of experience from diverse clinical settings. While my primary focus has been addressing the mental health needs of children and adolescents aged 4 to 18, as well as young adults, I also understand the impact these stages have on family dynamics and relationships. Parenting, co-parenting, and maintaining a loving bond with your partner requires a deep understanding of these unique challenges. 

Being a bilingual clinician fluent in both English and Spanish, I'm here to communicate and connect with couples and families from different cultural backgrounds. I offer a compassionate ear and tailored support for parents navigating through challenges such as divorce, behavioral difficulties of their children, or even their own relationship hurdles. Additionally, my expertise in areas such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, and trauma recovery means that I approach every situation with holistic understanding and care. 

I also facilitate a special group for teen girls aged 14 to 16, aiming to empower them in self-worth, body image, and healthy relationship building. I believe in providing safe spaces for open conversations – a philosophy that extends to my sessions with parents and couples. Additionally, I also serve as the President for the Mental Health Counselors Association of Palm Beach.  

If you find yourself seeking guidance in nurturing your relationship while ensuring the well-being of your children, you don’t have to do it alone. Feel free to email or call for a free 30-minute phone consult.

After years of working in acute SUDs settings, Deborah realized that her skills were better served in private practice. Her practice evolved as she worked with clients to discover the causes and conditions of their disorders and attendant issues. As a result of her training, Deborah helps uncover and heal family of origin issues and attachment disorders, works with families and offers relationship counseling. Deborah is highly skilled in working with disorders, such as mood disorders, that often accompany, are exacerbated by or are masked by substance abuse issues. Deborah is a trauma informed therapist.

Deborah helps families correct or avoid the co-dependent behaviors that accompany most related disorders of their loved ones. She enjoys helping clients, struggling from life transition, co-parenting/post divorce and spiritual issues, find relief and peace.

Caring Therapists offers couples therapy and marriage counseling in Davie, Florida.  We utilize Gottman Couples Therapy as our modality to help couples repair their marriages and improve communication.  

Relationship problems are common.  Every couple experiences them; however different couples cope with them differently. Some couples cope by yelling and screaming.  Other couples cope by withdrawing from each other and not addressing the problems. 

One of the most common patterns we see in our office is where one partner wants to make things work and the other partner appears to be withdrawn from the relationship.  This leaves the person who wants to make it work feeling burnt out. 

A lot of times, the individuals in the relationship have unspoken needs they haven’t really understood how to express.  It can be complicated to be in a relationship and maintain some sense of individuality. Many times, we find that couples need to learn to express their needs to their partners for the relationship to work. 

When unmet needs go unexpressed, it can lead to things like infidelity, emotional affairs, addictions, constant fighting, and other unhealthy coping techniques.
