Meet the Team

Mari Debon, LMFT

Founder

Healing Hearts Trauma Therapy was founded from a deep belief that healing is possible when people feel truly seen, understood, and supported. Too often, individuals and families carry the weight of painful experiences, relationship wounds, and life challenges without having a safe place to process them. I wanted to create a practice where people could find that safety—a place where healing is approached with compassion, expertise, and hope.

At Healing Hearts Trauma Therapy, I recognize that trauma affects not only individuals but also relationships, families, and communities. My passion is helping clients understand how past experiences shape their emotions, beliefs, and connections with others while empowering them to move toward greater resilience, authenticity, and emotional well-being.

I started Healing Hearts Trauma Therapy because I have witnessed the transformative power of therapy when people are given the opportunity to explore their stories without judgment. Healing occurs when we can make sense of our experiences, reconnect with our strengths, and build secure, meaningful relationships. My goal is to provide a space where clients feel valued, respected, and supported as they navigate that journey.

Liberty Intern

I work with adolescents, adults, and families facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, and trauma. Many clients come to counseling feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about their next steps.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based. I provide a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their concerns, develop healthy coping skills, and build on their strengths. Together, we work toward greater self-awareness, resilience, and meaningful, lasting change.
