About Deborah Edgar, PhD, LMFT

With over 20 years of experience, I work best with 3 types of people:

  1. I work with adults who are recovering from childhood trauma, like sexual, physical, and emotional abuse.
  2. I work with creatives.
  3. I work with pastors and spiritual seekers.

My work focuses on your whole person, taking into account your unique story, especially your strengths. I tend to work long term: together, we work to get to the core mechanisms which drive your symptoms. In order for the change to be sustainable and last, we need time.
