About Us

Deb Lehmann, LCPC

My name is Deb Lehmann and I grew up in the Wauconda/Island Lake area. I obtained my Master of Counseling Psychology degree from Southern California Seminary and have experience working with children as young as 12 years old to adults 50+ with a myriad of life struggles and issues. I started Hope Counseling as an avenue to fulfill my dream of helping others heal and fulfill their dreams.

Katie Booras, LPC

Hi my name is Katie and I grew up in Grayslake, Illinois. I work with clients ages 6+ with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, grief and loss, and trauma. I have my Master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Concordia University and am pursuing a doctorate in counselor education and supervision. My role as a therapist is to provide a comfortable, safe, and confidential place for us to meet, to bring the best of my education and training, and to listen to you with an open mind and open heart. I’m so happy to be a part of the team at Hope Counseling!
