About Deborah Edgar, PhD, LMFT
With over 20 years of experience, I work best with 3 types of people:
- I work with adults who are recovering from childhood trauma, like sexual, physical, and emotional abuse.
- I work with creatives.
- 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.
