Debra B. Fitzgibbons

I am a licensed clinical social worker in practice for over 30 years.  I was trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy and use this as a foundation for my work.  But,

the therapy itself is adapted to the client. I see therapy as an art form, where the therapist becomes finely attuned  to where the client is in life, and with that attunement  facilitates the client's growth.  Over the years, my clients have shared that they find me "down to earth", empathic, and able to look at resolutions that are out of the box.

I see adolescents, and adults (individually or as couples).

Clients who seek me out present with a broad and varied range of issues. My experience has taught me that clients usually have challenges that are not clear cut and frequently are a composite of multiple emotional struggles.  Anxiety, depression, grief work, relationship dynamics, and feeling stuck in unhealthy but familiar patterns, are examples of some the reasons someone might pursue therapy with me.

I am a special education advocate for Boulder Valley Schools and St. Vrain Schools.
