Deb Altman

I specialize in healing connections. I help individuals, couples, and teens navigate relationship challenges and treat the roots of anxiety that often stem from our relationships and early family dynamics. Many of my clients are "over-functioners" - the reliable ones who seem to have it all together but secretly struggle with a relentless inner critic and chronic overthinking. Whether your relationship is struggling, your anxiety has gotten too loud, or you're navigating the painful complexities of a difficult childhood, I help you move beyond "managing" symptoms toward a secure and steady foundation. My approach is practical and deeply relational. I combine evidence-based methods like Emotionally Focused Therapy and Somatic techniques to address how your nervous system and history impact how you show up in your life today. My work is also neuro-affirming and LGBTQ+ inclusive, accounting for systemic stressors that influence our ability to feel connected. With a master’s from USC and a clinical background at the National Institutes of Health, I value treatments that are practical, sustainable, and lasting. Together, we won’t just talk in circles; we’ll break the patterns keeping you stuck. If you are curious to see how a more grounded, relationally-focused approach can improve your life, let's connect. **Specialties:** I support individuals and couples working through challenges related to intimacy, connection, and feeling safe in relationships. My work often touches on family dynamics, heartbreak, trauma healing, and anxiety. **Credentials & Experience:** I'm licensed in both California and Nevada, with a background in trauma and attachment-based care. I hold additional training in Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR, Somatic Therapy, and am experienced with CBT. I have a passion for healing relationship challenges and building secure emotional bonds.
