Getting to know Debra Turkat

You’ve taken a big step towards a better life by checking out this website and the providers who are here to help you. My goal is to work with you and guide you toward achieving your best outcome. Let’s see if we’re a good fit. As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Houston, I bring a wide range of experience and perspectives on life. This is my second career, chosen because I strongly believe I can help individuals improve their quality of life. Depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, career difficulties, life transitions, parenting frustrations, caregiving for a loved one—these are some of the issues that cause us to lose our equilibrium. To move forward constructively and reestablish balance, we will work together using CBT (cognitive behavior therapy), my principal area of expertise. We will examine behaviors that aren’t working for you and replace them with ones that improve your daily life. I use active listening as an important tool to understand your feelings and turmoil—sometimes you may just need to vent. As I follow you on your journey, I will employ the skills of my profession as you need them. I wholeheartedly believe in a holistic approach to therapy, with self-care as a cornerstone. You will learn how self-care enhances self-respect and how these two factors establish a firm foundation for the new, improved you. There will be homework assignments each week related to your current goals. It’s all up to you: the harder you work, the greater your progress. You have to be “in it to win it.” My first career was in business, and I incorporate some basic business principles into my psychotherapy, most notably organization skills and the allocation of your inner resources.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I believe wholeheartedly in a holistic approach to therapy and foremost is the importance of self-care. You will learn how self-care enhances self-respect, and how important these two factors are for establishing a firm foundation for the new, improved you. And there will be homework assignments each week related to current goals. It’s all up to you: the harder you work, the greater your progress. You have to be “in it to win it.”

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.
