Meet Dr. Deb
Namaste all y'all cupcakes and seekers of healing and love! Welcome!
I am Dr. Deb Berman, DMin, LCSW, a licensed psychotherapist, doctoral-level counselor, and registered life coach with nearly 20 years of clinical experience. I look forward to meeting you and providing support whether you are an individual, a couple, single, or in a relationship, a business, or a community in times of challenge, transformation, and awakening.
My work integrates psychotherapy, spiritual care, mindfulness, leadership development, and coaching. I support clients in navigating relationships, life transitions, trauma recovery, spiritual questions, identity exploration, and personal growth. My approach combines deep listening, practical tools, and compassionate and straightforward feedback to help people move toward greater clarity, resilience, and connection.
I am radically sex, sexuality, sexual practices, Disability, Queer, Feminist, and body positive. I am knowledgeable and affirming of diverse populations, including LGBTQAI2+, Kink/BDSM, Poly, ENM, Alternative Relationships, Step Families/Blended Families, Chosen Families, Straightfolx, Monogamous partnerships, and more.
In my personal life, I maintain a strong commitment to wellness and spiritual practice. I enjoy Ayurvedic cooking, intermittent fasting, and attending retreats devoted to personal growth and renewal. I am also a daily practitioner of Anti-Oppression Functional Yoga, honoring bodies of all abilities.
