About Your Counselor...
Deborah Obert Kaptiko, MA, NCC, LCPC
Life Long Learner
"A solid educational background froms the foundation of therapeutic practice along with adjunct experience that promotes the clinical application of the information. In order to back up this belief, I worked extremely hard on my education and graduated with distinction. I continue to be a life long learner by keeping current with all the new advances in the field and when I feel I am lacking in a certain skill or knowledge, I find the means to increase my understanding. I believe my drive to enhance my therapeutic skills is invaluable in helping my clients heal and solve life's difficult problems."
