I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with years of expertise and passion in my field. I believe that healing take place from within and will work to facilitate that through a variety of approaches. At the Integrated Wellness Clinic, we feel that each person needs support and freedom to choose their own path. Healing from the suffering caused by addiction, mental health, trauma, eating disorders, obsessive sexual behavior, and other co-occurring conditions is not simply about managing life; it is about transforming it. At IWC, we support this trans formative work with approaches that strengthen and nurture mind, body and spirit.

When was the last time you smiled, laughed, lived without fear or felt confident and beautiful? Have you remained at the starting line because of fear and distractions? Many are in a constant state of comparison to others and those insecurities prevent the process of moving forward. If you are single, widowed, separated, divorced and feel depressed, give yourself permission to gain clarity and healing. Allow yourself to live the life you are destined to live! Failing marriages, fear of loving someone again and living with the loss of a loved one are experiences that no one should navigate alone.

Deborah Steib
FNP-C
As a Family Nurse Practitioner, Deborah feels there is no other task as satisfying as treating a patient physically, psychologically, emotionally and spiritually. She has worked in many facets of nursing over her career. Health and wellness begins with day-to-day habits, and a nurse in family care is uniquely poised to give wellness advice and guidance. Family nurse practitioners often perform similar functions to physicians: making diagnoses; prescribing tests and medications; and helping patients over the course of their life lead to make each day more fulfilling.

I have a great deal of respect for my clients and believe the solution to their problems is well within their reach. In my early training, there was a great emphasis on listening. It's a skill I use in every session to figure out the next right step toward growth and development for my clients. Listening is a skill I teach, so my clients can have more effective and intimate relationships with others, not only personally but professionally as well. My job is to teach myself out of a job and give you skills to live a better life.

My specialty is career counseling. Many counselors include career counseling among other types of counseling they offer, but my area of expertise is helping individuals decide on a college major, a career, or a career transition. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Highlands Affiliate. My target groups include high school juniors and seniors, college students, new professionals (those who have launched their careers and are not happy), mid-life career changers, and those contemplating retirement who want to engage in some form of work.

Hi there! How brave of you to find yourself looking for some support, and I would love to hear your story. I approach counseling from an individualized perspective, because there's no one-size-fits-all answer for anyone! My clients describe me as being open, honest, direct, and caring. Being a counselor is important to me because I don't want anyone to feel like they're alone, or that they don't have anyone to talk to. You are not alone. I would love to welcome you to a genuine counseling relationship filled with authenticity, acceptance, and honestly, no-nonsense, which leads to a lot of laughs. Counseling doesn't have to be scary!

Life happens, and sometimes life happens hard. Do you find that when you fall, you have a hard time getting back up again? Do you feel stuck and like you can’t find your way out? I often come across people just like you; feeling a loss of identity, questioning themselves, and whether or not they have purpose. The hurt and pain you’ve endured can obscure this one truth: YOU, My Dear, have purpose.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
