“Debra Bryson is far and away the best therapist I have ever worked with. I have seen five different personal therapists over my lifetime and Debra was the only one that was able to put together how my experiences in life were actually trauma based and how they shaped and influenced my every decision since those events. One of the hardest parts of getting help for mental health is to find the right therapist. There are so many out there it can be a daunting task. I am here to tell you your search is over. Debra has guided me through my personal journey of self healing like a surgeon performing an intricate procedure. She cuts right down to the heart of the matter and no further. She is able to slice through all the superficial information and get straight to the underlying problems. . . . Debra Bryson is the best therapist I have ever had and couldn't imagine someone doing more for me than what she has been able to do to help me. . . . I would give Debra Bryson my highest recommendation.”

“. . . My life has improved so much with Debra’s help. I have learned many skills to manage stress, as well as understand and deal with my past. Her insight, empathy, and dedication to her clients is invaluable. I used to wake up worried every day. I no longer wake up in fear, and my anxiety has decreased significantly. I now enjoy the healthy relationships I am in. Debra has introduced me to EMDR to help with past trauma. I am amazed by the growth I have seen with this therapy.

Debra has taught me how to identify and eliminate unhealthy behaviors and toxicity from my life as well as practicing positive self-talk and self-care.

Reaching out to Debra was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I wish I had met her earlier in life. I truly feel the successes I’ve had in my personal and business life have come from her help, support, and coaching me to become my best self. I cannot thank her enough!”

“Debra Bryson cares about people and sincerely wants to help them become and feel better. She cares about us as a person and not just as a client. She truly wants to help. Debra is tremendously well-skilled in her profession. She is a continuous learner and sharpens her skills regularly including administering EMDR. She was able to help me using EMDR in many areas of my life. After using EMDR with Debra, I can state that at 56 years old I am at the best point in my life. I feel better than I have ever felt. All my relationships are also greatly improved. I wake up each day differently than I did prior to working with Debra. Debra was critical to this positive transformation in my life. I’ll always be grateful for her and will eagerly refer people to her.”

“I have been to a dozen therapists over the years, but I stopped looking when I met Debra Bryson. Debra helps me navigate through my past traumas and offers helpful advice and guidance for my current challenges. A combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR has helped me learn who I am and also helped me realize who I am capable of being. I was an EMDR skeptic, but thanks to Debra, I am a true believer in its ability to heal. The improvement in my life has been immeasurable. I will forever be grateful to Debra for helping me to become the very best version of myself.”

“I met Debra through my EAP at work. I had just been divorced with 2 young daughters. I was desperate, discouraged and not the best mother I could be to my girls. From the moment I met her she had the kindest eyes and the sincerest demeanor. She took the time to listen to me, she asked all the right questions to determine the best way to help me. Debra is very knowledgeable and did an amazing job explaining the various options for treatment. I know I wouldn’t be the woman I am today if I wouldn’t have had her help.”

“In my opinion, a good therapist helps you understand the true nature of your struggles and how to work on your healing. A great therapist gives you tools to help you through new challenges as they arise. Debra has been my therapist for many years. With her support, I have been able to navigate major life transitions and many personal crises. I have navigated endless trials of caregiving for my loved ones with mental illness, addiction, and chronic health issues. Her personality, expertise and experience have been the right combination of professional counsel and coaching. She has supported my healing journey and equipped me to navigate for greater well-being. I would highly recommend Debra to anyone wanting to heal and create a better future.”

“I have been to several therapists in my lifetime. I have had ongoing issues with anxiety and panic disorder since my youth. I have sought out help from many different sources and therapists. Not until working with Debra was I truly able to have breakthroughs in areas of my life that I hoped and prayed for, for decades. She is kind, compassionate, extremely sharp and truly understands what I need, and what I need to do to reach my goals. I initially reached out to Debra at the recommendation of a friend because of her experience with EMDR. I was super skeptical of what EMDR was, but with each session, I have grown and moved closer to my goals of breaking free from anxiety’s grip. I am a big fan of EMDR. For example, I actually went up in a plane for the first time in 15 years, started traveling again, and generally just feel so much better. If you’re willing to put in work, there is no one better at what they do than Debra; I cannot recommend her enough.”

“Debra is very thoughtful and thorough in her approach - she has helped me sort through years of regret that led to depression and anxiety that I have struggled with. Her use of EMDR therapy has been quite effective. After working with Debra, I have a much better understanding of the root causes of my depression and anxiety, and she gives me tools on how to deal with these issues day-to-day.”

“Debra Bryson has helped me, utilizing EMDR therapy, resolve my childhood trauma. I am grateful for her professionalism, advanced training, and years of experience.”

— S.F.

“. . . Debra helped me unlock layers of my past that had been building up for decades and were affecting my life, relationships, and thoughts on a daily basis.

Debra recommended EMDR to help me move past my traumatic experiences that went way back to my childhood. I was hesitant to do this, but when I did, I was amazed at how much it helped. Debra has not only helped me learn so much about myself and how my past affected my future, but she provided me with the tools to help me when tough times arose again.

I am truly grateful for Debra as she helped me through the darkest times of my life. I still have much to tackle and wouldn’t think of doing this without Debra.”

“. . . I call therapy my “Disneyland.” It’s the place that I go to be seen and heard. I am never judged and told my feelings are wrong or inaccurate. Debra is an objective lens to help me see my truth. Until we started our work together, I only saw myself through the lens of my family’s needs. Their priority was of course, what they needed from me. Not taking care of me. I had to do that for myself. . . .

Debra, there are not enough words to thank you for all you have done to get me through some challenging times. I continue to be a work in progress. Thank you for helping me do the work.”

“Debra is the best therapist I have had (and I've had a few in the past 30 years, since I moved from one location to another numerous times). Debra somehow has this amazing capability to balance the conversation - with overall genuine compassion and care - between listening, asking, sharing helpful information and giving practical advice. She is an expert in helping people in times of transition, which is invaluable for people who struggle with change. As if that is not impressive enough, Debra continuously keeps developing her knowledge, expertise and arsenal of therapy approaches. She is committed to learning from the best so that her clients, in return, get the best from her.

Therapist-client relationships is a subjective experience; therefore, all I can say is that my experience has been all those things that I mentioned, and Debra is always there for me with all her heart and expertise. I can't think of anything else I could ask for that I don't already get from her and for that I am eternally grateful!”

“Working with Debra has been transformational in literally all aspects of my life. I began working with her at a time when I was in a very low and dark place emotionally. I have struggled with depression, anxiety, chronic insomnia and multiple layers of trauma for a very long time. Making the move to call Debra and trust the process of EMDR for trauma healing has changed my life for the better. She has such a warm, engaging, and effective approach that made me feel safe to be open and honest to do the hard work of going 20 layers deep to process my trauma from the inside out. I was not exactly sure what to expect when we started doing EMDR sessions, but it's one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life and I am in such a better place now from this experience. Working with Debra has positively impacted all the relationships in my life including the connection with my husband, children, parents, co-workers, friends, family and most importantly with myself. I will forever be grateful for Debra, and recommend her to anyone needing an advocate in their own healing journey.”
