History
During her training/internship years, Deborah worked for the Community Resource Center as a therapist/counselor working to serve the many counseling needs of the North County community. Deborah began practice as a licensed psychotherapist (LMFT) working for a private counseling group practice which grew quickly during the 8 years she worked there; initially called The Women's Resource Center, it then became Mellusi & Wagner, Inc. and with an even broadening range of clients, later the group grew into a medical corporation (PsyCare) with a full spectrum of psychological care. For 14 years I have developed my own private practice working with individuals, couples,families and groups. Deborah's private business offices has been located in Vista, Solana Beach, San Marcos at various times during this period and a continuing office located in Del Mar.
Specialties
Do old patterns, past experiences, or negative beliefs limit your current enjoyment of life? Would you like to enhance (or discover!) your strengths and positive qualities? With over 20 years of experience, I partner with my clients to create the change they seek. The latest neurobiological research and methods can help you transform your relationships with others and with yourself often more rapidly than traditional talk therapy. I use cutting edge techniques including EMDR and Brainspotting which create new connections in the brain and remove the intensity of beliefs and memories that no longer serve you. If you have tried other therapies but still feel stuck, there is hope. Let's discuss whether these new approaches will work for you.
