Debra Turkat

As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, I bring to the table a wide range of experiences and perspectives. I strongly believe this enables me to help individuals improve their quality of life. My first career was in business, and I am passionate about helping professionals move forward in their careers. My clinical career started in the military, where I began to understand commitment and discipline. I put all of this into my approach to Cognitive Behavior Therapy.

Depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, career difficulties, burnout... these are some of the issues that cause us to lose our equilibrium. To reestablish a new equilibrium we will work together using Cognitive Behavior Therapy, CBT, my principle area of expertise. We will look at behaviors that aren't working for you and replace them with behaviors that will improve your life. And, as I follow you on your journey, I will use active listening to be there for you whenever you need to vent.

I believe wholeheartedly in a holistic approach to therapy, and foremost is self-care. You will learn how self-care enhances self-respect, and how this is critical for establishing a firm foundation for the new, improved you. There will be homework assignments each week. The harder you work, the greater your progress. You have to be "in it to win it." Are you ready to be your own change agent? I'm ready to work with you and show you how, together, we can build your better path forward.
