Begin your transformational journey online from anywhere in the world!
I am Dr. Deb Berman, registered coach and counselor. With 20 years experience, I offer radically compassionate, solution-focused coaching and counseling for individuals, relationships, and groups. Each session is a sanctuary — warm, real, and deeply rooted in both compassion and action. Together, we’ll create a solution-focused roadmap to heal what needs healing, learn what needs learning, and support you in claiming the life you’re meant to live.
You can work with me in-person at my beautiful Amsterdam office by Centraal Station or virtually via Zoom or Whatsapp and Signal. My sessions are accessible and flexible — coaching clients can meet with me weekly, every other week, monthly, or drop in as needed. Wherever you are in the world, we can create a consistent, supportive rhythm that fits your life.
As an accomplished registered coach, doctoral-level counselor, ordained yogi, and global theologian, I draw from a rich tapestry of Humanistic philosophies from East to West with a reverence for Diversity in all of its manifestations. My approach to helping you integrates contemporary and ancient wisdom, including Buddhist Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Interventions, Ayurvedic Principles, Mindfulness, Somatic (Mind-Body) Coaching, Meditation and Mindfulness, Relationship Counseling, Life Coaching, Career Coaching, Spiritual-but-Not-Religious Counseling, Executive Functioning Coaching, Transformational Counseling, Queer and Alternative Relationship Theology, Radical Body Positivity, Cognitive Behavioral Interventions, Sex Positive Support, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Inner Child Work, Trauma and Grief Support, Feminist Theory, Interpersonal Coaching, and more.
This is not just coaching and counseling. This is a space for insight, growth, and deep restoration. Let’s build the life you’re here to live — one step at a time.
