Welcome back to Therapy Chat! In today's podcast host Laura Reagan speaks to astrologer and psychotherapist Debra Silverman. 

When Debra Silverman was just 20 years old, she met an astrologer who blew her mind and changed her world forever. She had officially been introduced to the world of Astrology. It was then that she realized the stars in her own world had aligned just right, and she had found her life’s purpose. Debra went on to deeply study the mind and body, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology & Dance from York University and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University.

Over the past 40 years of professional experience and private practice, she has specialized in helping thousands of individuals achieve emotional health and wisdom based on their unique personality and the four elements: water, air earth, and fire. Her work with families, individuals, and couples has her standing out in a sea of therapists and coaches.

While there is no “one size fits all” approach, Debra has developed a unique psychological-spiritual model, combining her expertise in Esoteric (soul-centered) Astrology with her extensive education in Psychology to help those going through major life changes, especially in crisis. She custom designs her therapeutic approach to each individual, using astrology and psychology as a magical healing combination.

What makes Debra different is not only her honest and direct style, but her fun and non-traditional way that she breathes new life into an ancient practice. Her goal is to connect with you on a deeper level and help you heal, while making you laugh and accepting you just as you are.

She shares her knowledge through her own radio show, called Tell Me A Story, which airs each Tuesday online, and by writing columns for various magazines. She has also taught at the internationally renowned Esalen Institute. Her work has taken her around the globe, practicing and lecturing in places like New York, Los Angeles, London, Vancouver, Seattle and Boulder, Colorado, where she now lives. Tune in to her Radio Show here! When she’s not helping you with your emotional health, she’s working on her own well-being. A self-proclaimed “yoga maniac,” Debra loves being with her 25-year old son, meeting new people, and bringing everyone together. Her life’s work is to bring hope to the children.

reasons.

Deborah is a psychotherapist who's been in private practice for over 40 years and she's also an astrologer.

1:44.1

So I was really interested in how she

uses astrology in her psychotherapy practice. What ended up happening was pretty surprising,

1:55.3

for me at least, and I was allowing myself to be spontaneous. So we had a good time talking and it was,

it was extremely interesting. I can't wait to hear what you think about my interview with
