Debra Apollonia  LCMHC, LCAS-A, RN

EMDR Trained and TF-CBT Certified

​Adolescents & Adults

Hi, I am Debra Apollonia.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I create a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients are able to explore issues and improve the quality of their lives.

I treat adolescents (ages 11+) and adultsusing individual, family and/or couple sessions.

I specialize in working with those who have experienced trauma of all types and I have specialized training in TF-CBT and EMDR.

I am also a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist and have experience working with those struggling with addiction and recovery issues.

In addition, I have years of experience practicing as a Registered Nurse and working with emergency and trauma patients and their families.

I also offer faith based counseling for clients who are interested.

I use an integrative style of psychotherapy that pulls from many different approaches with an emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). 

I incorporate a collaborative and integrative approach that promotes a strong alliance and allows for open and honest communication.

• Within this foundation clients develop the safety and freedom to challenge behaviors and beliefs and discover new attitudes that promote change.
  

• By creating new avenues for change clients are able to experience increased personal growth and empowerment that results in healthier, more productive
  
• and more fulfilling life experiences.
  

• My passion is to assist others in gaining the knowledge and tools to chart their own course and reach their fullest potential.
