Deborah Warner has a longstanding passion for helping others navigate life’s challenges, heal from difficult experiences, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves. Her professional journey began in 2005 when she graduated from the Colorado School of Healing Arts with an associate degree in Massage Therapy, specializing in Craniosacral Therapy and Trauma Touch Therapy™. This early work gave her a unique foundation for understanding the ways trauma and stress can affect the body, nervous system, and overall well-being.
Through her work with massage therapy clients, Deborah became increasingly aware of the emotional and psychological impact of trauma and the importance of addressing more than its physical effects. This realization inspired her to pursue further education, earning a bachelor’s degree in Human Services from Southwestern Christian University and a master’s degree in Counseling from Faulkner University in 2014.
During her clinical training at At Peace Therapy Center, Deborah developed a strong interest in working with individuals navigating trauma, suicidal ideation, personality-related challenges, and recovery from abuse. She values creating a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes.
Driven by an interest in the connection between physical and emotional health, Deborah continued her education through the Institute of Bioenergetic Medicine, where she completed doctoral studies in Natural Medicine and Bioenergetic Medicine between 2020 and 2023. This additional training broadened her understanding of the relationship between physical health, stress, and emotional well-being, further shaping her whole-person perspective on mental health.
As a Christian counselor, Deborah recognizes the importance that faith, spirituality, and personal values can play in an individual’s healing journey. When desired by the client, she incorporates Christian principles and faith-informed perspectives into the therapeutic process while respecting each person’s unique beliefs and worldview.
Today, Deborah brings nearly two decades of experience across complementary healing and mental health disciplines to her work as a licensed professional counselor. She is passionate about helping clients understand the connection between their experiences, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while supporting them in building resilience, developing healthier patterns, and creating lasting change. She also teaches courses through the Institute of Bioenergetic Medicine and participates in suicide awareness initiatives.
