Deborah Shriver
She/Her/Hers
Deborah
is a therapist at Two Chairs.
Deborah believes that our experiences shape how we think, and how we think shapes who we become. She takes a collaborative, relationship-centered approach, and together with her clients, they explore patterns, gain insight and create meaningful, lasting change. Deborah finds deep fulfillment in supporting clients as they heal, grow, and experience positive change that improves their lives and relationships.
Away from the therapy room, Deborah loves spending time outdoors with her dog-hiking, walking, and exploring new trails. She is an avid biker (with a twist-she prefers the electric kind so she can cover more ground and enjoy the scenery). Music is a part of her life as well; attending concerts or dancing to her favorite tunes.
