Short bio
Meet Debbie.
Deborah “Debbie” Feathers, M.S., is a trauma-informed Registered Marriage and Family Therapist Intern in Florida, practicing under qualified clinical supervision. She works with individuals, couples and families, with a particular focus on relationships: intimacy, communication, trust, identity and the patterns that make connection more complicated than it should be.
Her work is affirming of all gender identities, sexual orientations and relationship structures, including polyamorous, consensually non-monogamous and kink communities. Outside the therapy room she has spent years advocating for children as a Guardian ad Litem, and she is an adoptive mom to two now-adult daughters.
Debbie has been featured on MSN, VoyageMIA, ShoutOut Miami, CanvasRebel and Bold Journey, and has been a guest on The Designer Practice Podcast, Relationship Revolution and A Sista Love Podcast.
