About

Hello. My name is Deborah Corsaro and I am a licensed therapist in California. As no two people are alike, I personalize treatment designed to fit your unique and varied needs. I believe in positive growth created by the collaboration between myself and my clients. My approach My approach to working with clients is collaborative and creative. I find using active imagination combined with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral therapy, and Positive Psychology brings the best outcomes for the client. I do not present one type of therapy but a mixture of theories that best suits the client's personal challenges and needs. The client is wanting a solution to mental health problems and my focus is creating an environment where progress and growth can be achieved. My focus I have no preference in the type of clients I work with as each person is an individual creating a unique opportunity to serve those who need services. I have treated a variety of different conditions including trauma, depression, anxiety, transexual issues, life transitions, and grief. My communication style I believe in collaborative and open dialog in order to build trust and create a trusting and empathic environment from which to grow. I feel it is important to approach any mental health problem with the hope of a positive and progressive outcome for the client. Through experience and feedback from my clients, I believe I am open, inviting, and trustworthy when working with clients. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist began when I took a psychology class in high school. From that day forward, I studied all realms of Psychology due to intense interest and the need to understand the human condition. I had a prior career but the dream to become a therapist was always still there. I decided to complete my dream by obtaining my Bachelor's, Master's, and many hours of work as an intern. I made the right choice, as I find my work with others is fulfilling.
