Debby Slaughter Dudley

Debby Slaughter Dudley, a Licensed Professional Counselor (MS, LPC), specializes in helping teens and adults navigate the complexities of their emotions and relationships. She understands that many individuals, particularly those aged 25-45, often find themselves overwhelmed by the demands of busy lives, leading to feelings of numbness, entrapment, or unfulfillment. These emotions can manifest as out-of-control behaviors, shame, and guilt, as well as fears of disappointing others or failing to meet societal expectations. Debby creates an inviting, non-judgmental, and objective environment for her clients, allowing them the space to confront their fears and struggles, paving the way for new perspectives and healthier behaviors. With advanced training in managing high conflict personalities, she has observed a significant rise in clients facing challenges with spouses, parents, and bosses who exhibit traits of narcissistic personality disorder and borderline personality disorder. Such relationships can often strip away one’s sense of self. Beyond her psychotherapeutic practice, Debby is also trained in the collaborative law method of dispute resolution, offering a compassionate alternative to litigation or mediation. As a dedicated mental health professional, she is available to guide her clients in selecting the resolution approach that best fits their needs.
