About Debbie McCown-Perkins

I am an Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in Colorado. I have a BS degree in Psychology and a masters in Social Work from Walla Walla University. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, family of origin issues, career challenges, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, in a non-judgemental atmosphere. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, solution-focused counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

“I have pretty severe ADHD, and I really like how Debbie organizes our sessions almost based on this. I am definitely a ruminator and while I do want to be redirected, I appreciate that she listens and lets me talk through things without judgment or interruption. She also asks good questions to help me dive deeper. I even find myself making realizations after our sessions based on the questions she asked. Also, I appreciate that she listens most of the time instead of talks at me. I’ve always appreciated this approach of therapy.”

“Debbie has been one of the best therapists I’ve ever had! She’s knowledgeable, empathetic and has great advice to help me through my situations. I wouldn’t be as emotionally strong today as I am if it weren’t for her. She’s the best!”

“Debbie has been so vital to my mental health successes. She’s really helped me become more stable and helped me be able to navigate some challenges in my life the past year I’ve been seeing her. I am so appreciative of her time and commitment to supporting me. She’s helped me on the spot before when she was fully booked and it meant the world to me in that moment of panic and heartbreak. I cherish her greatly.”

“Keep up the ability to listen to random trauma dumping”

“Have only been seeing Debbie for a few sessions now but she puts things into perspective in a way that I have not thought about. She opens my eyes to many ways of thinking and placing a goal to think and work towards. Excited for the future and continued meetings with Debbie.”

“Debbie has been amazing in helping me work through my issues as I am working through a very difficult period. I would highly recommend her.”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about my experience with Debbie! From our very first session, I felt an immediate sense of comfort and safety that allowed me to open up about my struggles. Her warm, empathetic demeanor made it easy to share my thoughts and feelings, and I quickly realized that I had found exactly what I needed during this challenging time.<br /> Debbie has a unique ability to listen deeply and provide insights that feel both profound and practical. She asks the right questions that encourage reflection and growth, helping me to navigate my emotions with clarity. Her expertise is evident, and I appreciate how she tailors her approach to meet my individual needs. What stands out the most is her unwavering support. Debbie creates a non-judgmental space where I feel seen and heard. She has equipped me with valuable tools and coping strategies that I can apply in my daily life, making me feel more empowered and resilient. If you’re looking for a therapist who genuinely cares and has the skills to help you through tough times, I wholeheartedly recommend Debbie. She has been a beacon of light in my journey, and I am so grateful for her guidance. Thank you, Debbie, for being exactly what I needed!”
