About Deborah Keklak

Hello, my name is Deborah but most people call me Debbie. I have been a Professional Counselor for 20 years and have had the opportunity to work with many interesting people so far. One of the things that is very important to me is our professional relationship. Together we will work on building trust and respect for one another so the environment is one where you feel completely safe sharing any thoughts, feelings, or ideas that you have. I will be on this journey with you, guiding you and supporting you the whole way. The goal is for you to get to that place where you have the skills, tools and thoughts to help you get to where you want to be and make your life as fulfilling as you choose. Everyone is unique and that is part of the beauty of the process, no person is like you and every thought you have is yours and any feeling is one that you can be comfortable owning. We will work at a pace that you are comfortable with and you will be challenged and given HW if this something that helps. To avoid being overwhelmed, we will be organizing each issue and tackling each bit at a time until pieces of the puzzle begin to start fitting together.
I have experience working with family issues, depression, anxiety, panic, self-esteem, marital difficulties, loneliness, abandonment, trust, behavioral issues and more. I want you to know that what you say and feel is very important and you deserve to be heard, you matter. You also deserve to have that life you want. I can give you tools to work with and I can help you use them as needed for everyday life. I am eclectic in that I use different treatment modalities as needed. I may use Client Centered and then move to Behavioral Therapy and then on to Cognitive Restructuring as needed and it all comes down to what works best for you and where we are in the process. As we move forward, we will continue to work on the next hurdle until the road becomes more manageable. Every road has bumps along the way but it is how you learn to control the bumps that makes you in control of the ride. Life is YOUR journey and YOU will be in the driver’s seat. You can do this. I look forward to meeting you!

“I have had them as my therapist for almost 3 years maybe now and I wouldn’t trade her for the world. She’s the best.”

“Debbie is a thoughtful and compassionate therapist who deeply cares about her patients. She has gone over and above in every session and made time on days where her schedule was already full to accommodate our sessions. Additionally, she’s knowledgeable in her field and bases recommendations on science and establishes helpful mental frameworks that you can take outside of the session for real life benefit.”

“Debbie is awesome!”

“Deborah Keklak is the most competent therapist I’ve ever worked with. I’ve worked with many therapist and I feel like I am heard. I am understood. She has helped me in so many ways she helps me steer the conversation and address what needs to be addressed and helps me actively address my concerns. She’s a great listener, very understanding and is great at addressing things that I do not see I highly recommend her. She truly has been a blessing in my life.”

“Great therapist”

“Deborah is awesome. She listens and gives great feedback. She helps you work through what you want to say and how to manage what to say. At the end of each session I can breathe a little easier after talking with Debbie.”

“I would recommend her. She is empathetic, helps me understand my feelings, offers up various perspectives, challenges me and I feel better after my sessions.”
