Namaste all ya'll seekers. Welcome! Bring your stress and your mess and let's turn it into something awesome! You have come to the right place for healing, real, solutions, warmth, connection, and results..
I am Dr. Deb Berman, DMin, LCSW (she/they), a licensed psychotherapist, doctoral-level counselor, and registered life and relationship coach with nearly 20 years experience working with clients. I look forward to meeting you and providing support and helping you find solutions. Whether you are an individual, a couple, a triad, single, or in a relationship, a business, or a community in times of challenge, transformation, and awakening, I am here for you.
I am also a theologian and an ordained Interfaith clergyperson and have served as a seminary dean. My work integrates psychotherapy, coaching, relationship counseling, Buddhist psychology, spiritual care, mindfulness, leadership development, and so much more. I support clients in navigating relationships, sadness and anxiety, stress, 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 quickly toward greater clarity, resilience, and connection.
My practice is your safe haven, however you identify and however you live and love. 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.
