Hey, I'm Debora S. Jason, PhD!

I’m Debora S. Jason, PhD, a licensed clinical psychologist who offers DBT-informed therapy for children, adolescents, and adults. DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is a skills-based, evidence-informed approach that helps you build practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness so you can feel more steady, in control, and supported in daily life.



I bring over 10 years of clinical experience and a structured, straightforward, DBT-centered approach that balances compassion and validation. In our work together, you can expect a safe, authentic relationship, a highly individualized plan built around your strengths, and practical skills you can use between sessions—especially when emotions feel intense.



DBT sessions with me are paced and collaborative. We start by identifying what matters most to you and building a clear plan, then practice tools to help you reduce emotional overwhelm, manage high-stress moments without spiraling, stay grounded in the present, and communicate with clearer boundaries and more confidence. My goal is for you to leave with progress you can feel—more calm, more clarity, and more control.

What others are saying

"Loved everything so far"

I have been seeing my therapist at The Manifesting Minds for over 4 years now and it has been one of the best decisions I have made for my well-being.
Through our sessions, I have tackled challenges I never thought I would be able to face by myself. I have learned to manage anxiety, build a strong sense of self and move through life with much more confidence and authenticity. They have also helped me navigate various aspects of my career and overall helped me build a life that I have always wanted for myself. My therapist was mindful of my cultural background and values, which was crucial in my journey towards building my identity.
Overall, I am so grateful for our therapy sessions as they were instrumental to me in becoming the person that I am today. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a therapist that will guide you through life with compassion, empathy and build confidence.
