Individual and Couple Therapy

 Dr. Cox’s therapeutic approach is grounded in right-brain healing—where attachment, emotion, and creativity lead the work. Deborah uses EMDR therapy and attachment-based methods with individuals and couples to resolve trauma and restore emotional regulation. EMDR methods can be used both to process traumatic memories and to repair attachment bonds between partners (or parents and children). Deborah also uses emotion-focused couples methods to help partners restore emotional intimacy and feel safer together. She uses art therapy as a way to enhance the trauma recovery process. Creative expression with color, texture, and shape not only facilitates memory processing but also improves a person’s overall ability to make desired changes and experience the brain’s natural reward system, strengthening motivation and inspiration. “I know we’re making progress when my client tells me they’ve started drawing or they brought out their old guitar.”
