Dr. Warner has been seeing patients when she began advanced study in 1975. Beginning with well supervised practice in the Clinical Psychology program at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, Dr. Warner then did her internship at the University of Rochester Medical School and further postdoctoral work in Rochester prepared her for a well varied career in clinical practice with all ages. Her work has included children and families, parenting, substance issues, trauma and recovery, attention deficits and learning disabilities, and domestic violence work with both victims and offenders.

Dr. Warner's style is warm and respectful, and always building on what the client brings as strengths to the situation. She is especially able to explain important psychological concepts in common terms while enriching our understanding of applications for useful practice.

Dr. Warner has a long background in home renovation. Her father was a wallpaper designer and so involved her as a child helping him hang wallpaper each time he launched his new designs. Perhaps nurturing Dr. Warner's interest in building, the family had a long term renovation project converting their 200 year old barn into an art studio. As a pre-teen, Debi came home after school and watched the carpenter as he took the massive walls apart and carefully crafted new walls and structures, seemingly out of thin air. Many questions later, Debi had a deep appreciation for building methods, its logic, and the people who do such work.

In her own homes, Dr. Warner with family has renovated two kitchens, three bathrooms, many windows and doors, added a 4,000 square foot addition, and plumbed heating and supply lines for all of that, tiled endlessly, (they offered her a day job at the tile store), and pulled a mile of wire (really). Her curiosity does not seem to wane as she observes the experiences of these projects and applies her clinical eye to real life.
