Deborah Gromack , LMHC

Deborah Gromack is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who practices in Massachusetts and brings a long history of work in expressive therapies and clinical counseling. She trained in developmental psychology at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, where her early research focused on mother-infant relationships, and later completed graduate study in expressive therapies with a concentration in music therapy at Lesley University. This combination of academic study and clinical training shaped a practice that integrates creative modalities with talk-based approaches to address emotional, cognitive, and social needs.

Over the course of her career, Deborah has worked with children, young adults, adults, and older adults in a range of settings including schools, community programs, and therapeutic environments. Her experience encompasses helping people living with autism spectrum disorders, developmental delays, dementia and Alzheimer-related needs, as well as individuals and families coping with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, addiction, and life transitions. She values the expressive arts as a way to create a safe container for difficult material, using music, art, storytelling, and writing when they support a client's goals.

Clinically, Deborah orients her work from a client-centered perspective, believing that the person seeking help guides the process and that the therapeutic relationship is built around respect, trust, and collaboration. She also draws on cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques when they suit a client's needs. With 27 years of professional experience, Deborah aims to meet each person where they are and to tailor creative and evidence-informed methods to the concerns they bring.
