Dr. Deborah has been helping me for over a year now. I look forward to every visit I have with her. Wrestling with the wounds of my childhood and the accompanying growing pains is a challenging journey, but Dr. Deborah helps me see the positive side of every situation. Since day one, her outlook and fierce belief in redemption and the importance of hope have encouraged my personal growth. She provides practical advice to help me lower my anxiety while also encouraging me to live life to the fullest! Her words help me see that the power to heal is in my hands and that nothing in my past can keep me from being whole and happy.

Dr. Deborah held our hands through the darkest moments of our life, a disrupted adoption. She fought for us, cried with us, and celebrated our triumphs when joy began to return. She is always available, always willing to listen, always willing to help. She doesn’t ever just tell us what we want to hear. Over time, as a transracial family, I began to realize that we would likely always need Dr. Deborah in our lives. Adoption grief is something that returns with each stage of maturation. Our children continue to grieve, in new ways, the loss of their birth family and what that means for them. There are times we will go months without seeing Dr. Deborah when, suddenly, a fresh wave of grief overtakes us and we say, “that sounds like something Dr. Deborah could help us with.” In this way, I think she will just be a lifelong friend to us and our children, always there when we need her. In short, I cannot imagine trying to do life without her by our side. She is that amazing.

I have been going to Dr. Braboy for long enough to realize that she is not only my therapist but she is also my friend. She encourages me to believe in myself and helps me to realize my abilities and my God given gifts. I would encourage anyone who is struggling in life to give counseling with her a chance.

Deborah’s life coaching style works with athletes! She carefully listens and identifies what inspires and challenges me. She strives to get to the point and discovers what works. Besides being a joy to work with, Deborah is a take-charge person who is realistic and able to present creative ideas and communicate the benefits. Her creativity, resourcefulness and ability to see a project through really makes her distinctive and successful. I highly recommend Deborah as Life Coach for athletes at all levels. She understands athletes and the unique issues athletes face. She is a team player and would make a great asset to any organization.

I feel so lucky that we chose Dr. Deborah for our couples therapy, and that she came into our lives when she did. We have been seeing her for a year and the progress we have made in our communication and problem solving skills has given us such a renewed sense of hope, understanding and love for each other. It has been a difficult journey where she has helped us confront some major problems, become aware of negative behaviors and take responsibility for them. She has been so patient in her approach, listens intently, gives us tools and advice that we can implement right away and never judges. There is nothing I can’t say to her. My husband and I are truly fortunate to have found her and would recommend her to anyone seeking counsel!
