Deborah Connery

My communication style

I aim to communicate with an open and consistently respectful tone, creating a space where you feel truly heard and safe. My communication style is primarily curious and collaborative, rather than prescriptive or judgmental. My approach to listening is attentive and empathic. I often begin by asking open-ended questions that invite you to lead.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a child, I was a quiet observer, listening intently as family members and friends navigated their joys and struggles. I was told I had an innate empathy. As I grew older, I continued to have a gentle curiosity about the inner workings of the human mind and a deep desire to understand what truly helped people heal and thrive.

My goals for you

I will work to empower you to envision a healthier future by collaboratively setting clear and meaningful treatment goals from the outset. This process involves a deep dive into your aspirations, concerns, and desired changes, ensuring that the goals truly resonate with your unique journey.

Our first session

I understand that the first time meeting with a therapist can feel awkward. My clients describe me as laid back and easy to talk to. During our first session, I will be focusing on getting to know you at a pace that is comfortable for you. I’ll be asking about your background and your hopes for what you would like to achieve in therapy.
