Debbie Conley was referred to my family and I through NCMEC. At the time we met my ex-wife had absconded overseas with one of my sons leaving behind his twin brother with underlying health issues. Almost 2 years later my sons were reunited. From the moment we started working with Debbie she has been selfless with her time, always making herself available when something unexpected arises, and putting our needs first. Debbie is clinical in her methods, but very compassionate and genuine in her counseling. Her passion for helping children and their families creates hope in otherwise untenable situations. My children have just turned an age where their world view is of heroes in constant battle; about the struggle between good guys and bad guys. I often ask them what do heroes do, or what is a hero? Invariably I am told by them “heroes help people.” It is comforting to know we have a hero like Debbie to help families heal.

As a psychologist I found it to be very difficult to find a therapist for my child but when I met Debbie I knew immediately that she was an extremely skilled clinician. I thought her training and skills in Play Therapy surpassed my expectations. She related to my son with kindness and respect. She challenged him to make the changes that he needed to make and integrated the family into the process. We are very grateful to Debbie and the work that she did. I would recommend her to my friends and my colleagues.
