Come home to yourself. Find joy. Experience real change.

Helping you to overcome anxiety, depression and life challenges.

Does This Ring a Bell?

You're always trying to get it right, working harder and harder, but are starting to feel that it has all been for naught -- for your family, in your work, and most importantly for yourself.
You bend over backwards trying to make things good for others but are beginning to wonder -- when is it ever going to be about me?
You don't recognize yourself anymore. You've been living this life that you thought you were supposed to live, and one day, you wake up to recognize that you don't feel like you belong where you are.
You feel a sense of emptiness, a deadness inside, and wonder how you can keep going one day after the next, pretending that everything's ok, when you are truly not ok.

Hi, I'm Deborah Stymest

I understand how it feels to lose sight of who you are or feel like you’re always giving without receiving. You deserve to feel seen, understood, and genuinely valued. In therapy, I work with you to unravel the anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt that have kept you stuck, while helping you rediscover a sense of self-worth, connection, and intention. Together, we’ll create a roadmap to change that feels authentic and achievable.

Getting Started is Easy

  • Free Consultation

    Use the link above to schedule a free consultation, either through video, phone or in person. During this time, I’d like to hear about your needs and answer any questions. If the fit doesn’t feel right, I’ll do my best to refer you to a clinician in my network.

  • Start Therapy

    We can often schedule your first session within a week after the initial consult, either in-person or through telehealth.

  • Check In

    We’ll chat during the third session to assess how things are going and adjust our approach if needed.

  • Start Living

    Most people begin to feel better soon after starting therapy, and results continue to grow with treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What happens during the first appointment?

    When we first meet, the most important thing for us to do is to learn what you're looking for help with. I may ask you some questions about your life and your background to help us both understand what may be causing some of the challenges that you're facing. We'll also talk about how we will work together, and what you can expect in therapy. I'll answer any questions you have. While we won't have a "fix" for your problem in one session, people often feel a sense of comfort and confidence knowing that they have begun the process and have a professional to work with.

  • Where do we meet?

    We can meet in my office at 33 Plymouth Street in Montclair, or I also offer telehealth sessions through a HIPAA-compliant platform.

  • How much does therapy cost?

    My standard session fee is $175, though sliding scale may be available by application.

  • Do you take insurance?

    My practice is Out of Network with insurance companies. I partner with a company who will verify your out of network benefits, file claims and allows you to pay only your copay for each session (after meeting your deductible) which could save you up to 70% of my total fee.

  • Are you accepting new patients?

    I am accepting new patients at this time. Please reach out for a free consultation so that we can see whether we'd be a good fit.
