Getting to know Deborah Upton

Beginning therapy can understandably create some anxiety and can appear to be a daunting task. I'm happy that you've made the decision to begin your healing journey. I work with individuals who struggle with adapting to life changes, depression, anxiety, and repressed trauma. Each session is tailored with you in mind by providing a safe and comfortable space for you to be yourself. Welcome! I look forward to working together so that you can begin to feel more empowered and confident. My approach I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to develop alternative perceptions that may challenge a faulty and irrational belief system into one that is more meaningful and realistic. Other modalities, such as mindfulness and other healing practices, can assist you in becoming more aware of the origins of behaviors and how to gracefully permit yourself to exhibit fierce self-compassion. Your goals and progress are my top priority. We can work together to establish a plan that will enable you to move forward with confidence, My focus Are you struggling with intrusive thoughts, excessive worry, poor motivation, and just feeling stuck? I work with adults who are grappling with anxiety, depression, and trauma. We can work together to formulate effective coping strategies and develop personal goals that will move you forward feeling hopeful and successful. My communication style I promote clear, honest, and open communication in a safe, nonjudgmental, and shame-free zone. I believe that providing space for reflection is important in allowing perceptions to shift, where your direction becomes more purposeful and meaningful. Your time is precious. You can expect empathy and patience from me as your provider. My journey to mental healthcare My journey into therapy began with an interest in helping others in a way that is often misunderstood and stigmatized.
