The Empowerment Director

Deborah Day received her bachelors of arts degree in communication in 1985 from Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio.  In 1989, she graduated with her masters in counseling psychology from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (TEDS) in Deerfield, Ill., and has been working as a clinician in the mental health field ever since. She is a licensed mental health counselor, a national certified counselor and a certified practitioner of psychodrama and group psychotherapy.

Deborah takes a unique and personal approach to clients. She chooses the methods and interventions based on the individual’s needs at the time they seek counseling. She views counseling as a proactive choice and an opportunity to expand, grow and heal.  She believes all would benefit from self-exploration and personal growth. She strives to provide creative counseling services aimed at helping her clients rise above self-defeating thoughts, feelings and behaviors.  Her hope is that clients learn to be the “Active Director” of their lives.  While there is so much about life that you can not control, Deborah helps her clients focus on what they can control —  their self!

Deborah’s approach is warm and compassionate, yet creative and direct.  She uses many methodologies to help her clients grow and learn.  Her spectrum of interventions ranges from experiential therapies to cognitive therapy.  Her approach is intended to focus on the whole person —  mind, body, soul and spirit.  Her intention is to provide a counseling environment that feels both safe and productive.

While Deborah enjoys working with individuals, she has a great love for her group therapy.  She especially enjoys providing workshops and training sessions.  Her energetic, sincere and motivating style is transparent in her presentations.  She has published her second book, Be Happy Now! Become the Active Director of Your Life: A Self-Improvement Handbook.

Deborah currently resides in Clearwater, Florida.  She has been married since 1996 and has three sons.
