Facilitator Bio
Coach Debbie M. A. Richardson is a certified life coach and EMDR certified. REBT certified. As a graduate of the Academy for Coaching and Counselling of the Netherlands, I have created Real Insight Counseling and Coaching as a safe space for my clients to explore possibilities. My talent for helping create cohesive communities inspired me to look at the dynamics of attachment theory as a resource to bring empathy and collaboration to the wellness industry. I approach each session with this as the basis of my coaching. Included in my approach is bringing awareness to how outcomes are affected by temperament, health, poverty and racism, sexism, and peer pressure – and not just your parents. Insight into how you affect your world is the key to self-empowerment—identifying behaviors and strategies that sabotage vital relationships. As your coach, I will journey with you to this place of self-awareness and personal growth.
