As clinical psychologists we understand that throughout life there are times when we, or those we love, may struggle with family or peer relationships, jobs, school, health, stress, or life transitions. Sometimes these challenges are manageable, but at other times they can be overwhelming and one can feel helpless and alone. We understand and respect how difficult it can be to realize you need help to manage these problems. Our goal is to offer a safe, confidential and non-judgmental environment where you will work closely and collaboratively with your psychologist to better understand what is getting in the way of reaching your goals. We believe that we can help you access your strengths and resources to make your life and relationships better. We offer a wide range of services to children, adolescents and adults including, individual, couples and family therapy. We also provide consultation services to schools and organizations as well as assessment services. Please feel free to give us a call or explore our website for more information. Both Debra and Stacia are life-long Connecticut residence and are so pleased to be a part of the Durham community. We chose the name “Brownstone” because of the history of brownstones being used for the foundation of many community buildings. We liked the imagery and metaphor of the solid foundation of the brownstone and how we hope to be an important part of the community with our work helping to build stronger foundations of strength and support in our client’s lives.
