My name is Debbie Serrano and I am a psychotherapist (LCSW) with 10 years of experience in the field. My experience derives from different settings; Children's Hospital, Emergency Department, non-profit outpatient therapy, and in the school based therapy. I have experience working with patients suffering from depression and anxiety. I am experienced in crisis intervention, as well as holding space for grief deriving from acute medical diagnosis.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session we will review your mental health hx, any child developmental traumas and discuss what your therapy goals might be. Explore immediate goals you’d like to accomplish during therapy to see if working together will be a good fit.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am a firm believer of implementing self-regulation techniques / coping skills that work for each individual. I believe in affirmations, the power of breath, meditation. I believe in the importance of moving our bodies (yoga, hiking, exercise) to help with our healing journey. It is a good way to redirect negative energy and thoughts into something positive.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I love working with young professionals and adults that are motivated to improve their lives and are wanting to be their best selves. My clients may feel anxious and/or hopelessness, keeping them stuck in a pattern. My clients may be feeling stuck in relationships that no longer serve them, feeling overwhelmed in a career where burnout is high or difficulty overcoming attachment habits and/or codependency.
