Getting to know Deborah Carlon

Hi there, I'm Deborah! Welcome, I commend you on starting your journey towards the life you wish to live. I'm here to help make this meaningful for you. My focus is on treating those who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, career decisions, social anxiety, childhood trauma, anxiety related to financial distress, life transitions, parenting, caretaking, aging, OCD, and chronic PTSD. Additionally, my own experience in the arts has also enabled me to work closely with professionals in the entertainment industry, helping clients to better recognize their skill sets. In collaboration, we work together, removing the mental "blocks" that are keeping clients from achieving their goals. In doing so, we build skills to carry throughout all of life's changing circumstances. My approach By way of identifying clear treatment goals, my focus is on fostering communication, self-awareness, and resilience, empowering clients to create lasting change. I provide a safe and supportive environment where you can be yourself and offer useful tools to support your growth. I use client-centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns. This approach is hands-on and gives you tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. It also helps to start a new story of yourself, one that will help create the life you envision. Together, we’ll identify challenges and work on strategies to help you move forward with confidence. As you gain insight, we may adapt the goals or treatment so that your progress is always supporting your unique needs. Together, we will identify challenges and work on strategies to help you move forward with confidence. My focus My primary focus is on those who are seeking support for anxiety, self-esteem issues, life transitions, relationship difficulties, coping skills.
