Deborah Woods, LPC, NCC 429 West Terra Lane, O'Fallon, MO 63366

"I found Deborah and her play therapy program when I was about to give up hope. She was a shining light to both my son and me. We learned much about identifying feelings, setting boundaries, and using play to provide confidence. She has changed our lives, and I wish I had known her when my two older kids were little. She is readily available and sets you up for success. She is passionate about what she does and truly cares about my family's success. Thank you so much!"

"Deborah helped us through a difficult time in my child’s life. My child learned to identify big feelings and what to do with them. My child gained self esteem, a voice and confidence. I can truly say that I benefited from our time just as much as my child has. I feel like I understand my child and her needs, avoiding frustrating moments. Deborah is such a gift. I could go on and on. Forever grateful we found her."

"Deborah worked so wonderfully with our 3 yr old daughter. I appreciate her approach and the fact that we are in the play session with her so that we can observe and learn. We started play therapy because we wanted an outlet for our daughter as well as better insight and resources as parents. Deborah has provided just that and we are incredibly grateful for her!"

"We struggled with a year of colic and 3 years of aggressive behavior. Deborah opened my eyes to what our daughter was expressing need for & that was an empowering game changer as a parent. We went from hourly out of body tantrums to calm understanding & ability to set boundaries. Most days we don't even have one tantrum anymore. She also gave us advice to help our older son process those tough years & heal. It feels so good to be making family memories now instead of feeling like our home is a sinking ship! Thank you, Deborah! We so appreciate your serving heart!"

"Deborah was amazing to work with these past few weeks. She is passionate about the work that she does, and her approach works! I was losing hope that I would ever find someone to help my son with his behavioral issues, but Deborah's program has taught me so much, not only about my son, but about myself and how I parent. I have seen a steady decline in behavior issues, both at home and at preschool, and even his speech has improved. I honestly did not think play therapy would help at all - but it does wonders! She is really a Godsend."
