Welcome, I am so glad you are here! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for supporting people through life’s most challenging and transformative moments. I have the privilege of walking alongside clients from diverse backgrounds as they navigate life’s challenges. My practice is dedicated to fostering client growth, emotional resilience, and mental wellness through evidence-based practices in diverse populations.
I understand how intimidating it can be to reach out for help, and I deeply respect the courage it takes to begin this journey. Therefore, my focus is building a strong therapeutic relationship, allowing clients to feel secure enough to explore difficult emotions and experiences; being client-centered, validating experiences without imposing judgments or assumptions; practicing cultural sensitivity and humility, with mindfulness of how culture, race, religion, gender identity, sexuality, and lived experiences shape a client’s worldview and mental health; empowering clients to explore, learn, and build tools to manage their lives more effectively; and focusing on the client’s goals and values.
Clear, honest communication is a powerful tool for healing and growth. In our work together, you can expect a space that is warm and supportive, but also direct and intentional. I practice active listening, utilize humor when appropriate, and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences, with calmness and patience. I will ask meaningful questions and challenge unhelpful patterns with compassion, designed to help you build the tools to confidently navigate life’s challenges.
If you've had trauma and it seems to hold you back, on top of poor copings skills and you feel a bit lost; you found me. I've listened to my clients and now together we can get to the heart of issues.
I want you to feel truly seen, heard, and understood. I will provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings so that you can move forward towards your life goals.
I received my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Western Carolina University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia, and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina.
Hello! I’m Debby Lazarine, LCSW, RPT
Taking the first step toward therapy takes genuine courage. At Bearing Burdens, LLC, I provide a safe, compassionate, and empowering space to share your heavy loads, discover your strengths, and restore balance. Whether you are seeking support for your child, teenager, yourself, or an aging loved one, I am here to walk alongside you.
Background & Education
- Education & Licensure: BSW from Dalton State College (2014), MSW from Southern Adventist University (2016), and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) since 2020.
- Specialized Credential: Registered Play Therapist (RPT), utilizing creative, developmentally precise methods to help children heal.
Areas of Specialty
- Children & Teens: I combine specialized Play Therapy with acute crisis experience to help youth process big emotions, school stress, and behavioral hurdles.
- Grief & Transitions: Having worked extensively in hospice care, I offer deep support for families navigating the end-of-life process, profound loss, and major life shifts.
- Geriatric & Memory Care: Rooted in a passion for senior care, my background includes dementia support with the Area Agency on Aging and the Alzheimer's Association, alongside providing dedicated psychotherapy in local nursing homes and assisted living facilities.

I specialize in sex therapy and relationship counseling for LGBTQ+, gender-expansive, kink-involved, and consensually non-monogamous adults. You may feel capable and self-aware in most areas of life yet unsettled in your closest relationships. Together, we will connect the dots between present triggers and earlier relational experiences so recurring patterns can be understood and shifted with intention.
Becoming a therapist was inspired by those who helped me navigate my own personal struggles—I proudly identify as the first people in my family to graduate from high school. I connect best with those who are seeking connection and understanding. I enjoy working with "busy brains" and deep feelers often those navigating anxiety, a harsh relationship with themselves, or feeling unsatisfied in their daily life. My casual demeanor and practice is based on my values of authenticity and balance. My professional career started out in outdoor recreation and education, where I led group development programs and later worked in wilderness therapy—a role that deepened my interest in helping others grow through challenge and connection. My skills and passions have since expanded by working in community practice, group private practice, and education.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Tucker
Finding the right therapist in Tucker starts with getting clear on what kind of care you need. Therapists in the Tucker area commonly help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma, and stress. If you think medication may be part of your care, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner can evaluate and prescribe. On Headway, you can read detailed provider bios to learn about each provider's approach, specialties, and style before booking.
With Tucker's proximity to Decatur, Stone Mountain, and the broader Atlanta metro, there are many providers to consider. Narrowing your options by what matters most to you — such as a specific specialty, session format, or provider background — can make the process more manageable. Many providers on Headway offer both in-person and virtual sessions, so you can choose what fits your schedule.
Therapy in the Atlanta metro area can be costly without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit.
