Getting to know Debora King
My name is Debora, I hold a Master's Degree from Drexel University in Art Therapy and Counseling (2016). I am also a Board Certified Registered Art Therapist (ATR-BC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (in state of PA) who offers warm, person-centered care designed to help you feel empowered in your healing. I specialize in supporting emerging adults and adults in mid life who may be experienced past trauma, major life milestones or hardships, grief and loss. My goal is to meet you where you are, help you navigate difficult life transitions, and build practical skills that lead to lasting change.
Why people choose to work with me:
-I focus on collaborative, person-centered care that prioritizes your autonomy and strengths.
-I integrate art-based methods with evidence-informed therapies to make difficult material more accessible and transformative.
-I offer clear structure and consistent feedback while remaining compassionate and validating.
-I’m a relatable, empathic listener who affirms your experience and offers a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore yourself.
-I have extensive experience across settings—outpatient, inpatient, and community-based services—so I’m comfortable supporting a wide range of needs and transitions.
A snapshot of about me:
I bring ten years of professional experience in Philadelphia behavioral health working with children, adolescents, and adults. I also volunteer regularly with nonprofit organizations in Philadelphia that are focused on immigrant rights, LGBTQ rights and food access to our communities.
In my downtime I make abstract paintings as a creative outlet. I also recharge in nature—camping, hiking, or anywhere near water are my happy place. My family is everything to me, including my pet leopard gecko, Coco El Greco.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My clinical framework consists of Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I use a combination of directness, consistency and praise during each session to reflect on progress towards targeted goals.
I describe myself as a relatable, empathic listener and affirmative of ones lived experiences. I can help my clients navigate challenging life transitions, make positive changes and hone in on their sense of resilience by providing a safe, judgement free space for one to truly explore all aspects of themselves.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Initial Consultation Call
The process of getting started and access help and support you need for your child can be a vulnerable one. I am here to help you in a gentle way. I offer an initial free 15-minute phone consultation to determine whether I am a best suited for the problem areas your child is experiencing and can provide appropriate options for care or referrals.
Assessment Session
After the initial 15 min consultation, we can schedule the intake 90 min assessment. During this session we will review consent to treatment, confidentiality, attendance and fee agreement and establish a treatment plan, including frequency of therapy sessions as well as any other additional support recommendations or appropriate level of care or other referrals will also be addressed.
Continuation of Therapy
The frequency of sessions, problem areas and treatment goals will be determined and reassessed every 3 months or as needed.
