About

Debra Kay, PhD

People call a psychologist's office when there is a problem, a crisis, something is not working. It isn't the first place you go; it's often a choice of last resort. It's difficult to make the phone call, send the email, commit to a time, and then actually show up. If you are willing to wade through those difficult first steps, it is our job from that point to create an environment of acceptance.

The most important relationship in your life is the one you have with yourself. Our focus is to provide you with the space, information and time to develop a realistic and positive relationship with yourself. Once that is in place, you'll have a good foundation to move forward.

We are all human, hardwired for connection. Connection and meaning are natural antidepressants. As you discover compassion for yourself to be human and the courage to be genuine, you'll find that connections and meaning happen almost effortlessly.
