Presenters: Debbie Spearing and Kayla Kelly
Debbie Spearing, MHR, LPC, graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a master's degree in Human Relations - Counseling. She practices at Restore Behavioral Health in Norman. Her mantra is to honor her clients by doing her very best. To achieve what is in the client's best interest, she will customize a therapeutic approach tailored to each individual's situation. The goal will be to assist that person in empowering themselves in a way that will promote freedom from the weight of past or current trauma, letting go of fears that may be affecting them in ways they may not even be aware of. Each client's feelings have value, which will be met with compassion and the commitment to create a healing environment that allow each individual to thrive.

Kayla earned her bachelor's degree in Human Services - Counseling from East Central University in 1998 and her master's degree in Human Services Administration in 1999.
