Deborah Beach, LCSW (Mental Health Professional)
I am a mental health therapist who is committed to the health of families. I have more than 15 years experience working with individuals, families and couples with much of my practice devoted to families experiencing high conflict and divorce. As a therapist I believe my role is to help individuals and families communicate more positively and engage one another in healthy ways. I use these beliefs and skills in my work on Collaborative teams so that families can move forward more smoothly during the process of divorce. I currently serve on the Board of the Collaborative Professionals of Northern Virginia as the Mental Health Liaison. It has been very rewarding to add this field to my practice.

    • General Comments
    As a mental health practitioner who has worked extensively with high conflict families, I believe that healing takes time and support. I have seen families suffer the pain that the crisis of divorce can cause. I am energized to be a part of the Collaborative Divorce process and firmly believe that this process promotes healing and healthy functioning both during the divorce and in family's future.
