Debbie Bortnik

I am committed to creating a safe, caring and empowering experience for people struggling and in crisis with life stressors such as self-esteem and relationship issues. My services are rooted in self-determination and ownership of one's opportunities, motivation, capacity for change and my vast experience with a multicultural population. My areas of expertise include couples and individual therapy, anxiety, depression, trauma, domestic violence and substance abuse. I use a multi- disciplinary approach to treatment supporting analysis and self-exploration within a warm and empathic work style.

Working with families could be a challenge, multicultural families are even more. Language should not be a barrier, English, Spanish or Spanglish are welcome and part of the process. I offer Hypnotherapy sessions as a useful addition to the therapeutic process.

I believe in meeting the client where they are, using a cognitive or behavior approach as needed.

The first session we'll conduct an assessment to better know the client, their history, and make sure they feel comfortable in the provided environment.
