Drawing from a number of different counseling techniques, I will work with you to make positive changes. How I can helpI have experience working with individuals, couples, families, children and adults. I enjoy working with people of all ages and ethnicities and backgrounds.

Debra Tullis MSW, LCSW Treating you with respect and caring is vital. I take an interactive approach in helping you address your challenges and I will listen deeply and encourage you. I believe that effective therapy and coaching needs to consider the whole person and life in context. You function at your best when every area is maximized. If you are considering some important changes in your life, I would love to hear from you! How I can helpFor the last 28 years, I worked with children and families. Working for 22 of those years in the child welfare field gave me an expertise in working with survivors of childhood trauma. As a therapist who specializes in working with survivors of childhood abuse and neglect I will provide a safe and accepting place for you during the session. Professional Experience

Taking the step to come to counseling is a courageous one, it shows strength, and is a proactive step towards positive change in one’s life. Through counseling the client is offered a safe environment to discuss life stressors. My primary goals during therapy are to help individuals and families to cultivate healthy relationships, develop effective communication skills and establish an overall sense of well-being. To achieve these goals I focus on each individual’s strengths as a platform for making positive changes. How I can helpI spent two years as an advocate in a youth intervention program, where I worked extensively with adolescents and their families. The goal of the program was to unify families by equipping them with skills to problem solve effectively and employ healthy communication patterns. I went on to work at a residential treatment center, which consisted of adolescents with maladaptive behaviors. I continue to gain knowledge about diverse situations each day while completing my internship at Family Service. Professional Experience
