Deborah McBride

Hi! My name is Deborah McBride. I’m an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist with an extensive background in healthcare. During my nursing career, I noticed how untreated mental health issues had a negative impact on the long-term health of my patients. This awareness inspired me to enter the counseling field to help people experience a broader scope of healing that would integrate the mind, body and soul. My counseling style is unique in that I customize my client’s treatment plan based on the client’s therapy goals and symptom intensity. The modalities I most often use include (but are not limited to) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client Centered Therapy (CCT), Solution Focused Therapy (CFT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Soon I anticipate becoming trained in Eye Movement Desensitization & Repolarization (EMDR). My preferred populations are working with children, teens and adults of all ages. I assist clients with learning effective ways to communicate, set healthy boundaries, manage life transitions, grief, job loss, betrayal, adverse childhood experiences, college life, parenting, challenges of being a young mom, empty nesting, bullying, addiction, reinventing oneself, incarceration, feeling overwhelmed as well as the emotional aspects of weight loss surgery. It takes courage to invest in our emotional health. This journey becomes less stressful when we have the right support. I am here to provide a safe, nonjudgemental space for you to re-write your story so that you can create more joy, hope, contentment and fulfillment in your life. I look forward to meeting you!
