Debra Taki, LMSW (she/Her)
Therapist | Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) Certified | Trauma-Informed
Debra believes that every person is on a lifelong journey toward greater balance, clarity, and connection with their best self. She understands that along the way, people face setbacks, pain, and moments of crisis—and she sees these moments not as failures, but as opportunities for insight, healing, and renewal.
Debra works in true partnership with her clients, walking beside them as they navigate trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, grief, crisis experiences, and substance use. She brings a holistic perspective to therapy, honoring the interconnectedness of mind, body, and emotion. Clients experience her as deeply validating, steady, and compassionate, someone who makes space for their full humanity and meets them exactly where they are.
Certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and trained in Polyvagal Therapy, Debra uses powerful, evidence-informed approaches to help clients process trauma, regulate their nervous system, and experience relief from overwhelming emotional patterns. She also draws from CBT, ACT, and DBT, integrating these tools to support meaningful, grounded change.
Debra works primarily with adults and offers a creative style of engagement, including the thoughtful use of film, especially Disney stories, to help clients explore emotional themes, resilience, identity, and the ways narratives shape our understanding of ourselves.
At the core of Debra’s work is the commitment to make clients feel heard, validated, and safe. She walks alongside each person with warmth and respect, helping them reconnect with their strength, rediscover balance, and continue forward on their healing journey.
