Hello! I’m Deborah Revels. I recently completed my Master of Social Work at Florida State University, received licensure in North Carolina, and am excited to welcome clients at Positive Steps Therapy. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges by identifying and building on their inner strengths to find meaningful solutions.
My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their emotions, build resilience, and experience personal growth.
Before pursuing my MSW, I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of South Florida. Alongside raising a family, I’ve held diverse roles—from corporate management to teaching prekindergarten. These professional and personal experiences have given me a unique perspective on the many joys and complexities of life.
As a therapist, I specialize in women’s mental health across every stage of life. From the identity shifts of early adulthood to the emotional impact of hormonal changes—through fertility challenges, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause—I’m here to walk alongside you.
I support women navigating major life transitions such as:
Career and role changes
Family structure shifts
A child/loved one’s disability or neurodiversity diagnosis
Coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, and grief—such as perinatal loss, empty nesting, or the loss of a loved one
I’ve received specialized training in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International, including advanced work in supporting families through pregnancy loss and grief.
I currently offer therapy both in person at our Ballantyne office and virtually for clients across North Carolina. I’m also in the process of joining the provider networks of several insurance companies.
Outside of the therapy space, I volunteer with my certified therapy dog, Renegade, as part of Invisible Paw Prints, providing comfort and support wherever it's needed in the Charlotte community.
If you are interested in a complementary consultation, please reach out to me at drevels@positivestepstherapy.net or 980-244-0490.
We look forward to meeting you and working together to
start the journey to achieve your goals in therapy and life.
