Debra Gottschalk is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), with specialized credentials in Art Therapy and a strong commitment to helping individuals navigate the challenges of grief, trauma, and stress. She understands the deep sense of isolation that can accompany the loss of a loved one or a traumatic experience, especially when the world seems to move on. With her personal experiences and extensive training, Debra is passionate about walking alongside her clients on their healing journey, regardless of whether the pain is recent or from years past. She believes there is no 'right' way to feel and no strict timeline for healing.

At Create Mental Wellness Counseling, her unique setting encourages the use of Art Therapy and Nature Therapy within a discreet office environment, complete with an art studio and access to beautiful walking trails.

She is ready to listen and assist those ready to take this important step towards mental wellness.
