Greetings, I'm Debbie Palmer Thomas, a certified clinical social worker from Colorado. My approach to counseling is both welcoming and engaging. I uphold the values of respect, understanding, and kindness in every interaction. I firmly believe that everyone possesses inherent strengths, and with a sprinkle of hope, resilience is within reach for all. Embarking on a journey towards a brighter and more contented life demands bravery. When you're prepared to make that leap, know that I stand by your side, ready to uplift and guide you.
My approach
My therapeutic approach is rooted in a person-centered and strengths-based perspective. I lean towards Solution Focused therapy because I believe in equipping you with practical skills and strategies. My goal is for you to depart from our sessions with a personalized toolkit to navigate life's challenges.
My focus
I assist adults and adolescents grappling with challenges such as anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, substance use, and partner violence.
My communication style
In our sessions, my priority is truly listening to you with empathy and without judgment. I often use open-ended questions to allow you a deeper exploration of your feelings. Cultural nuances matter to me, ensuring our conversations respect and recognize your unique experiences. Together, we'll focus on your strengths, building your confidence. Our dialogue will be a shared journey, valuing your insights and feelings every step of the way. This is how I communicate in therapy, centered around understanding and collaborative growth.
