Deborah Marks
Accredited Mental Health Social Worker

Currently Accepting New Clients

As an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with over a decade of experience, I provide trauma-informed evidence-based therapy to individuals. My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative and grounded in EMDR, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, and Person-Centred Therapy. I have a strong background in working with first responders, including paramedics and veterans, who have encountered critical incidents, cumulative stress, or the emotional toll of supporting others through trauma. 

At Connect Corner, I offer a respectful and supportive space where people can make sense of their experiences, strengthen emotional resilience, and take meaningful steps toward healing. I am passionate about helping individuals move through the impacts of trauma and reconnect with their values, relationships, and personal sense of purpose.
