A Thoughtful, Structured Approach to Therapy
At Deborah Kirkland Counseling, I provide a supportive, straightforward space where you can explore your mental health with clarity and without judgment. I specialize in working with adults navigating trauma and late-diagnosed autism, including those who have spent years feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or burned out.
With over a decade of experience in a trauma treatment center, I help survivors of abuse, PTSD, and complex trauma make sense of their experiences and regain a sense of stability and control.
Whether you’re coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, or a recent diagnosis, therapy can help you move from overwhelm to greater clarity, confidence, and connection.
My Approach
My work integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) within a trauma-informed framework.
This means therapy is:
Structured, but flexible
Practical and skills-based
Adapted to how you think, process, and experience the world
Areas of Focus
I specialize in helping adults navigate:
Anxiety – reduce chronic worry, overthinking, and physical tension
Depression – rebuild motivation, energy, and a sense of purpose
Trauma & PTSD – process difficult experiences and restore a sense of safety
Late-Diagnosed Autism – understand sensory needs, identity, and self-advocacy
Late-Diagnosed ADHD – develop practical strategies for focus, organization, and self-understanding
