Deborah Gleason, LCSW
I am a gender affirming therapist and practice trauma informed care. The most common thing I hear from clients when they come to me is, "I've tried it all." They have done the work and feel they have plateaued in some way. I'm here to intuitively guide and teach you new skills and perspectives to go deeper in your connection to self, others, and this life. I am here to bear witness, listen, validate, advocate, and help as you navigate the next steps for yourself. I offer somatic healing methods as needed.
