Debra Filiurin has been working with individuals, couples and groups for 35 years. You will engage in a humanistic approach, with respectful dialogue to help you achieve your individual goals.

My work with adolescents, families, and adults spans over twenty years. I believe in the innate strengths within people while also appreciating the need for assistance during the challenges and losses presented throughout life. Working from a relational model and believing that the present moment offers potential for new growth and healing, I am honored to be present for each client as they achieve their desired goals. By co-creating a therapeutic relationship based on trust and authenticity, I assist individuals in reaching their highest potentials.

If you're in a crisis, stuck, or at a turning point you'd like to leverage, a personal counseling retreat is uniquely impactful. It compresses 6-12 months of therapy into a week. The impact is also in the inspiring environment, and sustained process, which allows a deeper and more cohesive process. There's time to connect many small dots to a bigger picture. Time to learn, understand and practice new cognitive and behavioral skills. And to cultivate mindfulness and perspective, to practice stepping back to watch distress arise, and then, importantly, pass. You come away with a lived experience of inner resilience, in mind and body.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner® who provides psychotherapy to adult individuals, couples, families and mother/infant pairs. I utilize psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, EMDR, Somatic Experiencing® and mindfulness techniques. I specialize in the treatment of single event trauma, complex trauma, dissociative disorders, anxiety, depression, mother/infant bonding, relationship issues, sex and sexuality, and personal growth.

***My practice is currently full. Feel free to email to be added to my waitlist.*** Therapy can be a wonderful way to deepen your understanding of the ways in which you view yourself and your experiences. Having a meaningful life with purpose and promise is something we all strive for. As your therapist, I will support you in developing goals and strategies that help you attain the things you want and form a more compassionate view of yourself. I utilize a collaborative approach that is individually tailored to honor the complexity that each person brings to the counseling relationship.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults to address common challenges relating to depression, anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, and family conflict. I approach treatment collaboratively and will work with you to develop a plan to help you and/or your child meet your goals. My approach is integrative, and draws on effective evidence-based treatments - including insight oriented approaches (psychodynamic), skill building approaches (cognitive-behavioral), and other collaborative and developmental interventions. Calm attention, compassion, energy, and creativity are important components of my approach; I recognize that therapy is a considerable commitment, and I am dedicated to creating a safe, supportive environment for our work.

I have been a psychologist in private practice in North Cambridge since 1996. I work with a wide range of individuals, from college students to older adults, who seek relief from painful and life-disrupting symptoms, such as depression and anxiety. I also work with people who struggle with issues related to food, weight, and body image, which can be a source of tremendous distress and can impede functioning in many areas of life. Many of the people I see are looking for help with challenges in their relationships with romantic partners, parents, children, friends, and co-workers.

Entering therapy is courageous. It can be a transformational space, a bridge from suffering to the discovery of choices that enable people to actively engage life. Depression, anxiety, fear and difficult feelings are not indicative of sickness, but rather signals that call for self-care, curiosity and empathy. I believe people's strengths are integral in the therapeutic process; I seek to help people access their humor, resilience, courage, intelligence, sensitivity and honesty throughout the healing process.

I enjoy helping individuals who seek Balance, yet struggle to find the right combination. With 25+ years of experience, I have knowledge and compassion for both the biological and psychosocial aspects of mental health. Support, Exploration, New Skills and Making Connections are the Essentials for Moving Forward to a more Balanced Life. During treatment an Eclectic Approach will be used to suit your needs as an Individual. Modalities may include: CBT, Interpersonal, Psychodynamic, MBCT, EFT, and EPT. Opportunities to explore Creative Outlets, Yoga/Movement, and the Arts, may benefit to enhance the therapeutic healing process.

A deep and enduring intimacy is one of life's greatest treasures. Richard Borofsky is a couples therapist whose special gift is to help couples learn how to consciously enter into the experience of being present in a way that makes it possible for them to reconnect, to open their hearts and to transform hurts, resentments and mistrust into a deeper, more compassionate and lasting connection. Along with his wife Antra Borofsky, his partner for 50 years, he also offers retreats and workshops for couples called, "Being Together: The Art of Loving."

I enjoy working with individuals who are looking for a safe place to explore their inner life. With over 30 years experience, I am trained in individual and group counseling, trauma work, sexual and domestic violence, and Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS). My style is interactive and empowering and I use humor and laughter to help people gain perspective and find more joy in their lives.

***I am not currently taking new clients*** I believe that therapy has to be a safe place where you feel respected, heard, and where your feelings are validated. It is very important that you feel supported in therapy and my job is to walk along with you, as you are discovering new paths. The main purpose of my practice is to create a safe place where you can achieve your goals based on forming a trusting relationship with me in which you feel free to express your feelings.

I have the heart for helping people and walking alongside them in their journey to heal. Life can bring unexpected challenges. I aim to work collaboratively with my clients to help them through the various road blocks and difficulties that life presents. People frequently limit themselves based on old assumptions and expectations and it can be freeing to start to disentangle this. My approach is interactive, warm, empathetic, accepting, and individually tailored to each person’s unique needs. This last year we have faced so much uncertainty with covid-19 causing greater stressors. It's vital that you feel heard and supported.

*MA and FL licensure in progress*Most of the clients I work with have an array of mental health challenges including depression, anxiety, history ofaddiction/substance use, compulsive behaviors, emotion dysregulation, non-ordinary states of consciousness (including spiritual emergence), and trauma of all kinds (e.g., PTSD, childhood trauma, and trauma suffered secondary to toxic or abusive relationships). I specialize in supporting those recovering from addiction, namely opioid addiction, and offer consultation for integrative pathways for recovery. Clients who benefit most from my approach have a year or more of recovery.

Feeling nervous or stressed is natural. When these feelings overwhelm us, we need someone to listen, to validate our concerns, and to help us get to the root of our problems with tools that will inspire hope, and help us regain control of our lives. I use Mindfulness Practices to help people sit with, and tolerate what comes up. I use Self-Compassion Practices to help soothe what ails you, and I often use CBT to organize our plan going forward. This gives you tools that you can use immediately, and strikes a fine balance between listening and responding.
