Hi. My name is Deborah Vaughn and I have dedicated my life to making your life better. I have laughed and I have loved. I have cried and I have lost. I have experienced anxiety and depression, poverty and wealth. I have had beauty and acceptance, age and neglect. I have given birth to four children, two that were incarcerated for crimes, and I have had them brought back to me renewed again in life. I've been sad and lonely and I have been on top of the mountain singing praises to the God of the Universe. Experiences, I've had too many to number, both good and bad, and I have learned from each and every one. Empathy I have for all, because I too have probably been there, or I could have been there easily enough. I have saved them all in my mind and heart so that I can help you through any of them you might need my help with. Sincerely, Deborah

Deborah aka Debs! What is there not to like about her! She is my second therapist i’ve had in my life and she started out as my couples therapist. I already LOVED her from the jump and realized i needed a direct and humorous type of therapist. It’s like talking to my best friend but unbiased and decided to make her my personal therapist as well. She asks a lot of questions i never think to think about and she observes and problem solves them right then and there. LOVE her!

She is AMAZING!!! So personable and caring. Always feel like I can be open and honest, and she won't judge, but will help me find, and come up with, solutions, to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Her humor and style is a comfort, and blessing, of which I am truly appreciative of!
