About Deborah Gromack
Deborah Gromack is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a nationally board-certified music therapist who combines clinical training with creative arts to support people across the lifespan. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Developmental Psychology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in 1988, where she worked as a research assistant on studies of mother-infant relationships. Early professional roles included teaching in the public school system and advocacy work in civil rights and fair housing, including helping to establish a HUD-funded organization that promoted fair housing practices.
Drawn to the unifying power of music during community events, she pursued graduate training in Expressive Therapies with a concentration in Music Therapy at Lesley University, completing her master’s degree in 1998. Her music therapy training led her to work with children with developmental delays and war refugee children, as well as older adults facing health and aging-related challenges including Alzheimer disease and other forms of dementia. She became certified as a music therapist and qualified to practice as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in 1998.
Over her career she has provided therapeutic services to older adults, children and adults on the autism spectrum, individuals with developmental delays, and people coping with depression, anxiety, trauma, major life changes, family problems, grief, addictions, and caregiver stress. She values expressive and creative arts as tools that create a contained space for emotions and thoughts that can be hard to express in words. Music, art, poetry, storytelling, and writing are offered as routes to clarity and healing when appropriate and when the client prefers to use them.
Her clinical stance is client-centered, emphasizing the client as the director of the therapeutic process and recognizing the courage it takes to seek help. She aims to meet each person where they are and to support their goals through approaches that honor their experiences and preferences.
