A CLIENT’S PERSPECTIVE

…”Debbie has changed my life.  I truly believe that guiding others is her calling.  My name is Alison, I am a 26 year old female patient of Debbie Gottlieb. It’s hard knowing where to start here, because without the guidance of Ms. Gottlieb, I am not sure I would be typing this. When I first met Debbie, I was extremely detached. I  had struggled with addiction, insomnia, anxiety, low self esteem, insecurity, PTSD, and was often in my own head. I talked a mile a minute, my speech as racing as my thoughts. It was Debbie who taught me to slow down. It was Debbie who believed in me when I lost belief in myself. I highly recommend this amazing therapist,guide,soul. She really worked with me to use methods that were effective for me. I have more than a therapist, I have a guide to show me the way to life. With Debbie as my beacon, I feel ready to embark on my journey and enjoy my life.”

~Anonymous Client

…”Debbie is so caring about her patients. She never made me feel like just another person in her office. She always made me feel welcome and she made me want to go to sessions with her. I have been to many therapists over the years, none of whom, I felt respected or truly listened. If they did listen, that’s all they did. Debbie listens, cares and helps with solutions. She is an amazing therapist.”

Debbie is the best!

“Debbie changed my life in ways i can not articulate. Her intensive meditation and breathing exercises opened new doors for me. Her one on one sessions were key to my realizing my full potential. Debbie taught me indispensible ideas which i never knew i never knew. I am who i am today as a direct result of working with her.  Her one on one sessions were key to my realising my full potential.”

Debbie changed my life

“Debbie has worked with my son in therapy for his addiction. Debbie’s total commitment to her clients and their families is evident not only in her therapy methology but in every aspect of her relationship with her clients . Her holistic therapeutic style not only brings about sobriety to the clients she touches but they leave with a greater sense of self worth.. Not only because she believes in them – but she gives them the gift of believing in themselves.”

A committed and caring therapist

“I first went to see Debbie as a couple’s counselor about 5 years ago when my marriage was in turmoil. After the couple sessions stopped I liked her so much that decided to start going on my own. Since then my approach to life’s unchangeable issues has changed about 180 degrees, I am a much more positive person, my acceptance of people around me and their flaws has expanded and my overall outlook on life has turned to positive when before it was all negative…”

Debbie helped change my life

…”I have become more aware as well as have a bag of tricks I can use to combat anxiety and stress that I did not have before. I would recommend and have recommended Debbie to numerous friends and coworkers throughout the years and will continue to do so. I hope you visit her with an open mind and it is the only way anyone can grow as a person and the only way she will do what I call “her magic”.”

I highly recommend Debbie

…”Debbie Gottlieb is that sort of flexible, results-oriented therapist. She helped me gain the strength and confidence to leave a toxic relationship, discover and make the most of my strengths, deal with rape-induced PTSD, find healthy ways of handling anxiety, depression and even general life responsibilities. I now feel fortified with wonderful coping mechanisms and postively engaged in the journey of my unique development. Creating the sort of lilfe that suits me specifically, that can make me feel happy and fulfilled…”

Debbie is amazing!

“Working with Debbie was a life changing experience. I have seen many therapist in all different fields of study in my life, and meeting Debbie, I thought “oh another shrink. I know how to tell the story to get them off my back”. But I didn’t get very far. My first session with Debbie was great. I started my story to try and fool her, but didn’t even get 2 minutes into it before she saw right through it and called me on it. After that, I figured I might as well give in and be honest with her. I was always skeptical of her methods at first but once I gave in to trying them, they were amazing. I am so glad I did, she helped me see alot of stuff about myself I didn’t know needed to be worked on. It changed my life.”

Through my work with Debbie I realized I am so much more than my diagnosis. She has taught me how to trust myself and love myself more. I highly recommend this amazing therapist.”

Debbie is a highly skilled and compassionate therapist

…”When I met Debbie I had already been to many therapists. I didn’t think she would be able to help me. Well, I was wrong. She came up with many different methods that were new to me and really helped me see a lot of things about me that have helped me change my  life. I am so grateful for Debbie and highly recommend her.”

I am so grateful for Debbie and highly recommend her.

…”Debbie has taught me so much. One of the most important lessons Debbie taught me is that  it’s perfectly OK to say “NO” to requests, especially male requests, and you don’t need to give a reason. Followed by: True friends understand you can’t always be there when they call but still support and care for each other. And it’s OK not to attend every party and gathering or please everyone all the time. I am so grateful for Debbie. She gave me back my confidence and trust in myself. My life has gotten so much better because of her…”

I am so grateful for Debbie. She is the best!

Interactive Therapy Experience

Interactive therapy incorporates all the learning styles into the healing experience. It provides the opportunity for you to not just understand intellectually what to do but rather also actually practice and internalize the method of therapy to your particular situation and goal. This understanding, internal shift and training creates lasting change that can then be applied to other situations that may come up in your life.
