Deborah Fenton-Nichols

Hello,

I’m Deborah, and I’m here to support you on your journey to healing and growth.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse populations - adult individuals and couples in private practice. I have extensive experience helping clients navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, substance use disorder, trauma, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

I look forward to understanding your unique needs and discovering how I can best support you. Whether you're facing challenging emotions, difficult life changes, or seeking personal growth, I am here to listen and help you move forward.

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), and Licensed Addictions Counselor (LAC) in Colorado. My counseling career began in 2007 after earning my master’s degree, and I furthered my expertise by obtaining a doctorate in counselor education and supervision.

Take the first step towards healing—you're not alone, and support is available.

I’m here to support you in reaching your goals and creating positive change in your life.

I approach therapy from a holistic perspective with a focus on your unique aspirations, using proven techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). My goal is to provide a safe, flexible space where you can explore, heal, and grow—adapted to your individual needs and life’s unexpected twists.

Together, we will work at a pace that feels right for you, helping you overcome challenges and achieve the outcomes you desire. You don’t have to face this journey alone—support is available, and change is possible.

Take the first step toward a healthier, more fulfilling life. I’m here to help you through it.

What to Expect in Your First Session

When you attend your initial session, my main goal is to create a welcoming and safe environment where you feel comfortable sharing your story. We will start by discussing what brings you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. I’ll ask about your background, current challenges, and any previous experiences with counseling.

This first meeting is a time for us to get to know each other, establish your goals, and discuss how we can work together effectively. It’s also an opportunity for you to ask questions, share your concerns, and understand how I can support you on your journey.

Remember, there’s no “right” or “wrong” way to feel during your first session—my role is to listen with compassion and collaborate with you to develop a plan tailored to your needs.

I look forward to meeting you and beginning this important work together.
