About Debbie

Debbie Bertoldo is a Certified Counselor, ready and willing to help you understand your feelings and behaviors, and why some issues in life, create stumbling blocks for us. Her clinical background includes working with individuals struggling with substance use, trauma, anxiety, and depression.

One of her specialties includes using a modality called accelerated resolution therapy which helps people understand and erase their emotional response to stressful situations. "If you are struggling with emotional or mental health difficulties, I invite you to seek out the experience of certified counselors, to assist you in overcoming these difficulties.
