Deborah Newell

Riviera Beach, Florida - Counselor
Online

Hello & Welcome, My name is Deborah Newell and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and an Accredited Triple P Parenting Therapist. I have 14 years of experience counseling in a variety of settings. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, & families around issues of depression/anxiety, foster care/adoption, behavioral concerns, parenting, relationships/family issues, adjustment/transitions, and trauma. I approach each situation with compassion and understanding, it is my goal to provide a safe space that is gentle, collaborative, and direct in order to help you better understand and find a solution to current or long-standing challenges through a trauma sensitive approach and cognitive-behavior intervention. I look forward to supporting and guiding you on your journey to improved mental health. It is vital to be patient with yourself as you work toward your healing and change. Learn to find reasons to love yourself, embrace your uniqueness; nurture and hold yourself accountable for the changes you hope to accomplish. I enjoy helping individuals find motivation within themselves to change their lives, situations and/or relationships for the better. I assist individuals to identify the choices they can make in their own lives to reach their goals. We all experience stress in life, complications in relationships, confusion with goals and desires, Uncertainty about the future and decisions that we have made can make us lose touch with who we are and what makes us truly fulfilled and happy. Traumatic events from the past can cloud that vision even more. We can work together to gain insight into who you truly are and how you can create the life you want. Whatever reasons you may have for reaching out at this moment, I am ready to work with you as part of a collaborative relationship in which you will be respected, supported, and free to express your feelings and talk about anything without fear of judgment. I will actively listen and help guide you in identifying personal gifts, abilities, and resources you possess. Together we can effectively meet your needs and goals.

Elizaveta (Liza) Patchen

Riviera Beach, Florida - Clinical Social Worker
Online

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Florida experienced in providing guidance, mental health, and substance abuse counseling for my clients. Since 2014, I have worked with individuals struggling with various problems with addictions, depression, anxiety, traumatic events, loss of purpose, and relationship issues. I received my Bachelor’s in Culture and Arts in 2009 and my Master’s Degree in Social Work in 2014. I gained my experience working with elderly individuals in inpatient settings, providing therapy services to families and individuals in an outpatient setting, as well as working with clients, struggling with addictions in an inpatient setting. In addition, I have worked with patients severely mentally ill by providing a safe place to share their world and seek solutions to their challenging life circumstances. I am trained in evidence based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, as well as Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy with MBSR techniques. I am fluent in English and Russian languages. Our everyday lives are filled with events that we have no control over. Some go about their lives embracing this chaos, but for others this task may seem challenging and unattainable. I believe that with proper guidance one can accept life as spontaneous chain of events and feel comfortable throughout the process of change. I do believe that without a sense of purpose life loses its meaning, therefore in my sessions I stress the importance of finding and redefining one's purpose. I offer a range of therapeutic services, all designed to help you find your way back into a peaceful and satisfying life. Whether you're looking for a change or just feel the need to talk to somebody, I am here for you.

Riviera Beach, Florida - Counselor

In Person

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over 40 years of experience in the mental health field, working with individuals across the lifespan and from diverse backgrounds. I hold a Master's degree in Professional Studies (MPS) and am certified as a Clinical Hypnotherapist and a Certified Trauma Expert. My career has included work in acute care hospitals, rehabilitation centers, hospice care, government-funded programs for at-risk youth, group practices, and long-term private practice. I specialize in trauma, grief, and bereavement, anxiety and depression, relationship issues, self-esteem, life transitions, chronic illness and pain, brain and spinal cord injury, and recovery from abuse. I also have extensive experience supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, single parents, men's issues, and adults navigating identity, loss, or major life changes. I work comfortably with adolescents, adults, and older adults, and tailor therapy to each client's unique needs and goals. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and skills-based. I focus on helping clients build resilience, find meaning, and develop practical tools for managing both short-term challenges and long-term goals. Many clients return to therapy over time as they continue to grow and face new transitions, which I consider a reflection of trust and therapeutic connection. In addition to my professional training, I bring deep empathy informed by lived experience with trauma, diability, chronic pain, and loss. I believe therapy is not just something I do - it is who I am. My goal is to help clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity, strength, and hope.
