Deborah Kass, PMHNP, supports teens, adults, and seniors across California in managing emotional, psychological, and psychiatric challenges through a balanced and compassionate approach to care. Practicing at LifeStance Health, she offers both individual therapy and medication management, including specialized support for substance use recovery. With over two decades of clinical experience, Deborah collaborates with clients to develop customized treatment plans that address the mind-body connection, aiming to reduce symptoms, restore functioning, and improve overall well-being.

Deborah is especially passionate about working with individuals navigating the complexities of ADHD, anxiety, and trauma-related disorders such as PTSD. She provides a stabilizing presence for those experiencing emotional dysregulation, persistent worry, or the lingering impact of traumatic events. Her integrative style incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), allowing her to meet each client where they are while fostering growth through both therapeutic and pharmacologic strategies. Deborah also offers CBT for Insomnia and mindfulness-based interventions for clients dealing with sleep disorders, chronic stress, and psychosomatic symptoms.

She brings deep understanding to the care of LGBTQ+ individuals, military veterans, and those facing the emotional toll of life transitions or women’s health issues such as postpartum depression and anxiety. Her approach is rooted in building trust, creating safety, and delivering care with cultural awareness and clinical precision. Deborah supports clients managing a wide range of mental health needs, including mood disorders, OCD, substance use challenges, eating disorders, and somatic symptom disorders.

Outside of her work, Deborah enjoys playing the piano, camping, swimming, and spending quality time with her beloved Yorkie. These interests reflect her belief in nurturing joy and balance both in and outside of the therapeutic setting.
