Dr. Deborah Posner, PHD

I feel very grateful to have found Deborah when I did. I had tried working with another therapist and it wasn't a good fit in terms of both our personalities and the process. Of course the issues that had motivated me to try therapy did not resolve themselves, and after some research I found Dr. Posner. During the couple of years we worked together our dialogue expanded beyond the issues that initially led me to reach out. I arrived at a better understanding of myself and also developed tools for dealing with emotional challenges going forward. Deborah's empathy, intelligence, insight and good humor made it possible. I could not recommend her more highly.

Dr. Posner is a highly effective therapist. She quickly grasps patients' needs through careful listening and probing but respectful questions, and she balances potentially uncomfortable discussions with empathy and levity, all while maintaining a positive and professional relationship with her patients. I originally came to Dr. Posner in response to an acute crisis at a difficult moment in my life. Through our work together I arrived at a healthier and more resilient understanding of myself that not only addressed that original problem, but led (unexpectedly, at first) to a series of other positive changes in my life. I would trust Dr. Posner's guidance on any mental health matter, and I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for that kind of assistance.

Dr. Posner is caring, thoughtful and kind without judgement. She takes the time to really understand your patterns/habits that are not serving you and provides excellent guidance on how to navigate better decisions to create a more enriching life. She provides an open, loving space for difficult conversations. She makes you feel comfortable and less guarded so you embrace the benefits of cognitive therapy. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Posner is simply the best. She is empathetic, a great listener, and beyond thoughtful in terms of how she approaches and frames issues. She connects the dots like only a person of her intellect can. I have seen her at multiple points in my life and would gladly do so again.

I have visited Dr. Posner several times. She has been truly helpful to me. She is thoughtful and an impressive listener. I've also found that she is able to be flexible with respect to determining the way(s) to respond to me that will be most helpful.

Dr. Posner is an incredibly empathetic, thoughtful and insightful psychologist. She really helped me to reframe many of my issues to tackle to their root cause. She actively listens and helps you to better understand the many drivers of your feelings. Each of our sessions were hard work, but I always left feeling like I had inched closer to resolving the challenge I was facing. I strongly recommend her to anyone seeking treatment!

In the short time I worked with Dr. Posner she helped me realize bad habits that weren’t serving me, as well as reasons those habits developed. With her help I was able to start changing and challenging my own negative perceptions of myself. She’s insightful, patient, kind, and has a great sense of humor. I’d strongly recommend her.

I feel very fortunate to have found Dr Posner. Through our weekly conversations I have learned so much about myself and because of her help I feel stronger, happier and more self-confident. In my experience with her, I was able to work through various issues without judgement, prejudice or personal motive other than to help me identify what I want and support me in getting there. Dr. Posner is kind, sensitive and open-minded. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking support from a therapist.

Dr. Posner is, in my opinion, an excellent therapist. She is a wonderful listener and has the ability to know when to interject or just listen and let you explore your emotions. With her I've been able to grow more emotionally and become much more self-confident. She has been extremely instrumental in helping me get through very emotional issues within my family. I have been in therapy with a number of therapists through the years and am very thankful I found her.

She is kind, deliberate with her words, asks helpful questions, doesn't judge, takes criticism well, and really works together with you to find a dynamic that will be helpful. I saw her for eight years and cannot give her enough credit for helping to make me the person I am today. I started seeing her right after a sexual assault and then just stayed. Her way of framing things and connecting dots became indispensable to my personal development.

I am extremely grateful to have found Dr. Posner nearly 8 years ago when I was struggling with depression and anxiety. She has helped me tremendously over the years through difficulties related to work, relationships, and parenthood among others. She is smart, compassionate, and works hard at what she does. I have seen several therapists in my lifetime and Dr. Posner's sincere love for the work sets her apart. Without question, I am a healthier person because of her help.

Dr. Posner is an incredible therapist. I worked with her over the course of early-adulthood and found her to have all of the characteristics needed from a therapist – she was patient, understanding, insightful and thoughtful. Her office is a space of safety and comfort – and she truly goes above and beyond to ensure your growth and healing. I’m forever grateful for her guidance and for getting me to a place where I could move on in my life without needing her support.

I had first been referred to Dr. P by my friend's therapist, who highly recommended Dr. P because she had an excellent reputation. I attended weekly sessions with Dr. P for a full year and found her to be amazing. She is a highly skilled and effective therapist who is a great listener, but also jumps in when necessary to provide some guidance. She will help you work towards what you want, but supports you slowly finding your own path. Working with her changes your life for the better.
