Deb Dettman, LCSW

My clients describe me as:

Approachable and down to earth, good at providing a very safe space to do hard work and someone who provides a lot of good suggestions and guidance.

Something to know about my approach is:

I will make you feel understood while also challenging you and holding you accountable to do the work. I'll help you set specific goals and then we'll figure out what is working and what is not and adapt accordingly. I have a lot of suggestions.

Together, we will:

Identify your personal strengths and determine what patterns of thinking and behavior you want to change. You'll set a personal commitment for self-care. The following week we'll talk about how that went. We build from where you are now.

I specialize in working with people who:

I work with a lot of women who have been holding it together but have lost track of their own self-care. When that happens you need to start finding what that very personal positive routine will be. I can help you get that going and keep it going.

I became a therapist because:

I tried to DIY my mental health for as long as I could. I'm stubborn. Eventually I found a good therapist and Al-Anon specifically. It really helped.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I do telehealth so therapy is wherever you need it to be as long as you can get an internet connection. It's kind of a miracle really.

More about me and my practice:

I am a one woman show. I am not distracted by having employees and business meetings. I can focus on my mission to help women to find their voices and make the changes they need to. When one woman's life improves it helps the world exponentially.
