About
At 66, I've known both joy and heartache, uncertainty and hope, So wherever you're at, I offer compassionate, non-judgmental understanding. As an LCSW and Spiritual Director, I teach practical skills, grounded in truth and love--things to deepen your understanding and give you a new way to life. If you want to move beyond coping mechanisms and behavior changes to the life you were created for, I can help!
Together, we look at how your history influenced your thinking. We work to correct ideas that prevented you from setting boundaries or triggered your anxiety. Bad decisions don't have to continue to have bad effects. Once you feel cared about and understood, you'll be more able to make genuine connections, find a way through difficulties, and live life to its fullest.
Why I Became a Professional Christian Therapist
People are healed, shaped, and renewed by solid counseling – and a whole lot of divine help. I've lived it myself. Sometimes slowly. But now I get to use it every day to help others. God’s presence and action find a way. Reach out today to find out for yourself.
Leave me a voicemail at (630)999-8151 to get started. You'll get a free 15 minute consult to see if we're a good fit. You can also email me at: debbie.carsten@gmail.com. I accept BCBS PPO, Cigna, United Healthcare and Aetna insurances and private pay.
