Debbie Chirikos, LCSW

Debbie Chirikos is a career clinical social worker with four decades of experience helping people navigate stress, relationships, trauma, grief, and life transitions. She chose counseling as her lifelong professional path and brings steady curiosity and a commitment to continuous learning to each therapeutic relationship. Over the years she has practiced across multiple states in America, Hawaii, and Canada, which has shaped a flexible, culturally aware approach to care.

Debbie strives to remain attuned to each person she works with and focuses on practical change that reduces self-defeating patterns and eases painful life experiences. She values non-judgmental feedback, patience with recurring struggles, and the use of humor as a healing tool when it fits the client. Her work centers on partnering with motivated clients who are willing to reflect and do the hard work of change, guiding them toward more authentic, confident ways of living.

She holds a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in Clinical Social Work and attended universities in Colorado. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) Debbie has advanced clinical training and a professional license to provide psychotherapy. She believes people who are suffering often carry the seeds of their own solutions and benefits from having a supportive partner in that journey, whether they seek deep change or simply need someone to listen.
