Getting to know Deborah Parham
I am an LMFT with over 16 years of experience working in mental health. I earned my Master’s in Counseling from California State University, Fresno. I have 10 years of experience as a clinician and skills teacher in a comprehensive DBT program. I am experienced in CBT, Prolonged Exposure therapy, and working with psychotic, personality, and mood disorders.
Irreverence and humor are part of my personality. Bonus: if you like animals, you are sure to see an appearance during a session with me. And if you don’t like animals, we can talk about that too.

First session was ok, but it was clear she wasn’t reading my file before appointments or even taking notes about my case. Set me back in my treatment and now re-triggered because she used my appointments as opportunities to talk about her life.
My final session was the most inappropriate. She pressured me to make phone calls and do weigh-ins, I had to put my foot down and say no after realizing she hadn’t listened to why I even wanted to see her. The session ended with HER in tears after showing me a video that had nothing to do with why I was seeking help. After consoling her, I felt worse than I did when I reached out.
I hesitate to even write this review and struggled for weeks on whether I should as she seems like a sweet person, I just don’t think she should be seeing people who are in the midst of a crisis.

Debbie is the best therapist I have ever had. I’ve never felt like any other therapist allowed me the space to speak the scary thoughts in my head out loud without any judgement. I’ve made more progress in my time with her than any one of the others combined.
