Debra Younger

What clients carry out of Debra Younger’s office — or their video session — is a quieter inner life: less self-criticism, steadier ground under their feet, and the genuine belief that they can heal. Debra works with adults and the elderly navigating trauma of every kind, including those managing the slow drain of professional burnout, the weight of early childhood wounds, and the day-to-day friction that comes when family life competes with the pull of devices for everyone’s attention.

A Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Las Cruces, New Mexico, Debra brings 33 years as a Registered Nurse into her practice alongside training as an EMDR clinician, an Internal Family Systems (IFS) Informed Therapist, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and a Certified Grief Counselor. Her background as an Army veteran, Ordained Minister, and Civil Air Patrol Chaplain gives her particular grounding with first responders, veterans, and anyone whose life is shaped by service to others.

Her therapeutic work is holistic by design — tending to mind, body, and spirit together. Using IFS integrated with EMDR, she addresses anxiety, depression, PTSD, CPTSD, abuse recovery, and spiritual concerns at their roots rather than at their surface, because she holds that healing is genuinely available to every person who seeks it.
