Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, or life transitions, I help you build confidence, independence, and lasting change.

I get it. Searching for a therapist is overwhelming, exhausting, and all the profiles sound the same. To help you decide whether to reach out, here is what you can expect from me, aside from a non-judgmental, come-as-you-are, therapeutic space. First, I am an active therapist who will ask questions and challenge you. Second, I provide direct, honest feedback; I won’t dodge your questions without explanation. Third, humanness: No blank stares or awkward silences. Fourth, humor (but no knock-knock jokes).

I believe that healing and growth begin in spaces where people feel truly seen, heard, and accepted. I aim to create a supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences at their own pace—without judgment. As long as I can remember, people have described me as "bubbly", "outgoing", "friendly" and "warm". It is those character traits that I bring to my work with clients. I have a relaxed demeanor that makes it easy for me to engage clients in a therapeutic relationship.

I think one of the bravest things you can do is speak out loud, the things that scare and confuse you. Navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and trauma can be challenging when dealt with alone. In a non-judgmental but curious way let’s unpack emotions, challenge thinking patterns/behaviors, and learn to live authentically and not be in survival mode.

As children we have minimal control over our lives. Knowing how we have been affected by the people and environments we were in can be helpful in moving past those early experiences that may be holding us back. Hi, I'm Debra Rice, a licensed therapist with over 20 years of experience. I take clients into my practice if they have decided it's time to feel better about themselves and make positive changes in their lives. I know that wanting something better doesn't always come with an instruction booklet. My goal is to help my clients see the light at the end of the tunnel and together we create a roadmap to a better, happier life.

FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
Is one ever too old for mental health therapy?
Individuals of all ages can benefit from mental health therapy. Indeed, older adults in particular may benefit from the social and psychological support a therapist can provide; the topics that older adults address in therapy may simply differ from those of younger clients. Seniors should seek out a therapist who has experience working with older individuals and who is well-versed in addressing common concerns among elderly individuals, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and physical mobility challenges.

How is counseling for seniors and the elderly different from counseling for other age groups?
In general, counseling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. Therapists who specialize in working with elderly clients generally have the same framework but may place a special emphasis on specific topics, such as caregiver relationships and reducing loneliness. They may be specially equipped to deal with certain physical conditions or facilitate discussion surrounding end-of-life topics. Counseling for the elderly may also place a greater emphasis on social work-type topics to ensure that geriatric clients have access to necessary resources, such as food, a safe home environment, and healthcare.

How can therapy improve the quality of life of aging individuals?
Therapy for aging adults can greatly improve quality of life by providing an opportunity for them to process difficult emotions related to end-of-life, navigate relational or caregiver challenges, and develop coping skills for common mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. Subsequent reductions in negative emotions and mental health disorder symptoms can make day-to-day living much more manageable for aging adults and those that care for them. The ongoing relationship with a trusted therapist can also help seniors combat loneliness and provide a sense of structure for their routine.

What are the qualities to look for in therapists who see seniors?
Seniors counselors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counselors specializing in working with the senior population should be very familiar with the aging process in general and the common conditions that the elderly can face, such as dementia, depression, loneliness, and/or physical illness. Many senior counselors are also well-equipped to help caregivers and families navigate the aging process of their loved ones, and they may draw on Interpersonal Therapy to help facilitate improved interactions between seniors and those that care for them.
