Meet Deb Hurowitz
Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker
I work with people who are navigating life transitions, relationship stress, old patterns, and the often unrecognized weight of experiences they’ve carried for too long.
Many people begin therapy when roles shift, relationships change, health challenges emerge, or life simply stops feeling the way it once did. These moments can reveal that the ways we’ve always coped are no longer working.
My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and deep respect for your story. This is a space where you can speak freely, feel fully, and begin to understand yourself in new ways—without judgment.
Together, we explore the emotions, roles, and coping strategies that have shaped your life, and begin to untangle the ones that no longer serve you.
If trauma is part of your story, we may choose to integrate EMDR and inner child work to help process past experiences and reconnect with parts of yourself that have been pushed aside.
Over time, much of my work has come to focus on women navigating major life transitions—including peri/menopause, empty nest shifts, and the challenges of the Sandwich Generation. While I have worked with clients of many ages, identities, and life circumstances over the past 17 years, supporting women through these stages has always been an important part of my work.
I earned my Master of Social Work from Boston College School of Social Work in 2008 while raising a toddler and nearing the end of a second catastrophic pregnancy. That experience deeply shaped my desire to help women feel heard by medical providers and supported in getting the care they need.
I began my career working with new mothers and continued alongside many of those clients as they moved through the different stages of life—careers, relationships, parenting teenagers, peri/menopause, empty nesting, and caring for aging parents.
Whether you’re grieving, navigating identity shifts, healing old wounds, or learning to prioritize yourself for the first time in years, therapy can offer space to slow down, understand yourself more clearly, and decide what comes next.
