Getting to know Deborah Ann Cook
Greetings, I'm Deborah, and I welcome you to my practice.
Do you feel like you're drowning in the trials of life? Self-doubt. Low confidence. Low self-esteem. Grief and loss. Depression. Life changes. Difficult relationships. A wise person said, "You drown not by falling into a river but by staying submerged in it." Are traumas, anxiety, and conflicts keeping you submerged? I will help you rise above your river through your talking and my listening. I provide a safe environment for you to express your feelings, discover solutions, and develop and enhance your coping skills. I like to help people get in touch with and build a solid inner wise voice. Using a whole-self approach, we will identify your strengths and what's not working. I will advise you in negotiating healthy relationships. Together, we will personalize coping tools to help you regain mental, physical, and spiritual balance. Seeking therapy can feel scary, but you're making the right choice. I will be there with you on your journey.
A note about me: I am a lifelong trauma survivor of alcoholic parents. I know life's pains and sorrows. Let me help you work through them. You will find safety here in this space.
I hold a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Antioch University, Los Angeles, which informs my compassionate and holistic approach to therapy.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My life philosophy is to treat your whole person, which empowers you to engage positively with others. Here, you will always be treated with dignity, grace, respect (and a little humor). I set up a nurturing, reflective, and empowering 50-minute space where you can confidentially explore, discuss, and resolve your life issues. I help you create and utilize personal tools to cope with life, build healthy relationships, survive trauma, and heal. Additionally, I offer client assessments, diagnostic tests, and recommendations to healthcare partners for whole-person care.
More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits
