I’m Deborah McCarren, LPC, a licensed professional counselor, hypnotherapist, psychotherapist, and clinical supervisor with more than 25 years of experience helping adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigate life’s hardest moments. My approach is warm, grounded, and deeply compassionate. I believe therapy should feel like a safe, trusting space where you can be fully yourself while we work together toward meaningful change.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked across a wide range of clinical settings. I spent more than 10 years at Newton Memorial Hospital coordinating outpatient mental health services and supporting patients facing severe depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and other complex challenges. Earlier in my career, I served as a site manager for High Focus Drug Rehabilitation in Cranford, New Jersey, working with both adolescents and adults, and I also spent 10 years at Easter Seals of New Jersey supporting individuals living with disabilities. My work has also included years of volunteer service supporting battered women.
I specialize in working with adults, couples, and families, with a focus on anxiety, self-esteem, confidence, phobias, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Clients often describe me as sensitive, joyful, and loving. It is an honor to do this work, and I take seriously the trust it takes to share your private life with someone. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity, strength, and peace.
