Debra Kanter Klaus, LCSW-C

I connect with clients from an integrative perspective, exploring mind-body connections, and the interplay between feelings and behavior. As a therapist and former teacher, I synthesize somatic knowledge, teaching/learning strategies, and an understanding of creative processes. These skills allow me to co-construct and uniquely tailor each therapeutic relationship.
