We live in challenging times, and it’s often hard to know what to do in the face of adversity, but you don’t have to go through it alone. I believe in your ability to overcome life’s obstacles and create a life based on emotional stability and joy.
I and my staff work primarily with adolescents, adults, and couples with issues related to stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, gender identity, grief, and marital/relationship strife.
You can be strong, capable, and still need support. Pushing through and pretending you have it all together? Worn out, anxious, healing from something heavy, or just trying to figure things out. Therapy isn’t about having it all together. It’s about getting support while you find your way.
Through real, down-to-earth chats, we’ll work on some solid tools and skills to help you live the kind of life you’re proud of. I specialize in struggling relationships, relationship abuse, high conflict divorce/CoParenting, first responders, navigating trauma, big life changes, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, personality disorders, parenting coordination, child custody/adoption evaluations, and more. My goal? To help you shift what’s not working for you in a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered.
Fun Fact: When I'm not in the therapy office, I'll be out soaking up self-care like hiking, paddle-boarding with my Yorkie, exploring new places, creating flower arrangements, and keeping my houseplants (mostly) alive.
Hello there, I'm here because this thing called life didn't come with a handbook and I'm guessing your are here for the same. Life can get dark, ugly, and make you feel like the walls are caving in. My goal is to promote wellness, growth, and a healthy life by challenging negative thought patterns, habits, and discovering underlying trauma. Take the first step by reaching out. I'll take the second step by meeting you in the center. You are not alone; I'm here for the hard stuff.
Hello and Welcome! I am here to support your journey toward healing and health. With a little over 20 years of experience in counseling and 15 years as a Licensed professional counselor. I have a wealth of experience working with a variety of people helping them overcome everyday challenges. I specialize in helping people work through depression, anxiety, grief, and stress.
I strive to empower clients to regain agency of their own health and well-being. With 30+ years of being a therapist, I understand that making desired changes can be challenging and fulfilling at the same time.
Trauma can change the way you see yourself, others, and the world around you. Whether you've experienced domestic violence, childhood abuse, or other painful life events, you may find yourself feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or constantly on guard. Healing is possible, and you do not have to navigate that journey alone. As a licensed counselor with experience working with survivors of trauma, I provide a safe, supportive space where you can process your experiences, regain a sense of control, and move toward a life that feels more fulfilling and meaningful.
Hi, I’m Debra. Life’s challenges can sometimes leave us feeling disconnected from who we truly are. I believe that each person’s story matters, and I bring a genuine curiosity and compassion to understanding the experiences that have shaped you.
Together, we can explore your personal narrative, identify patterns that may no longer serve you, and build on the strengths you already possess. I work with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, mood disorders, life transitions, and the everyday challenges that can impact well-being. My goal is to provide a supportive, collaborative space where you can gain insight, find healing, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and aligned with your values.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Waco
Finding the right therapist in Waco starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you want help with a specific concern like anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, or whether you're looking for general mental health care. Licensed providers in Texas include LPCs, LCSWs, LMFTs, and psychologists, and each brings a different training background. If you're interested in medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner may be the right fit.
Waco has a range of mental health providers, but availability and insurance acceptance can vary. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach, specialties, and whether they're likely to be a good match. Some providers also offer a free phone consultation, which gives you a chance to ask questions before committing to a session.
Therapy in Waco can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
