“I have really enjoyed my time with Debra. I get the sense that she really wants to see you feel better, and tailors the treatment around you. She has been nothing but patient, understanding, and non-judgmental, which are all very important things when it comes to treating OCD. She is the only therapist that I feel like I made progress with, and I always look forward to our sessions.”

“Debra is amazing! She genuinely cares about my well-being and I’m comfortable talking to her (even though I have bad social anxiety). I felt like therapy helped me a lot because I learned a lot of methods to help me with my anxiety. I have more confidence now in myself and in overcome the struggles. STRONGLY RECOMMEND!!!”

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.

Debbie is great! She has been so helpful through a tough time in my life. She sets small attainable goals for me each week to achieve and it really keeps me motivated. I feel very comfortable in our meetings and would recommend her to anyone.

The journey toward selfness and self-love is lifelong, but a good therapist can help you feel like you are on the right track. This therapist supports your journey and helps you take ownership of it, and she offers no judgment along the way. It is clear that her goal is to guide you to become an independent, active agent in your life. I can’t speak for everyone, but for me, that’s the most important quality I look for in a therapist. Recommend.

I've been seeing Debbie through Teladoc for therapy for anxiety disorders. She's helped me a lot! I'm doing much better after working with her for a few months. She's kind, listens, and has great suggestions and recommendations. She's also funny. We've had some good laughs. Highly recommend!

Debra has helped me so much, just being there to listen and help me organize my thoughts and feelings. She helped me think rationally and talk about my fears out loud to hear them and talk them through. She gave me some amazing tools to focus on and help me through my anxiety. I always looked forward to our sessions because I knew I would come out of the session with a clearer mind.

I received excellent care form Dr. Bichachi. It was for me more of the wordings in our discussions and asking the same things a different way. Even though it's all been through video chat it's always been a warm, trusting, comfortable environment. I liked that when I didn't want to discuss something it was respected and not pushed. I was never judged. I appreciated that. I started in January and I was a mess. We are now in September and I am 95% myself again. There's more I can say but not here in an open forum.

I absolutely love Debra and the therapy techniques she uses. Debra makes me feel listened to and understood. Prior to finding Debra I was at the point of losing a very important relationship because I was allowing past traumas to effect it. Finding Debra was the best thing that could of happened to me. I am a totally different person because of the techniques I have learned. My relationship is now better and stronger than ever. I myself have changed as a person and I am so proud of who I have become all with the help of Debra. I highly recommend using Debra for your therapy needs, you will not be disappointed.

Debbie is an incredible therapist. She listens to all of your needs and sets up small goals for you to achieve weekly to help cope. I instantly felt connected to her and I will always appreciate all the help she has given myself and my husband.
