About me

It is my preference to work with teens in the context of family therapy. While there may be concerns regarding the thoughts or actions of a young person, it is important to consider that they do not live “on an island” alone. They are impacted by their interaction within the family, school, and community circles in which they find themselves. Progress within counseling is dependent upon clear boundaries, consistent expectations, and genuine care on the part of the teen’s parents or caregivers. The communication exercises I implement with families are similar to what I use with couples, and using a Family Systems approach allows each family member to be heard and understood. The establishment of “fair fighting” ground rules ensures that respect is maintained during the counseling process, and the use of Cognitive/Behavioral techniques provides a concrete method for working toward the desired improvements agreed upon by all family members present.

It is such a joy to talk to Dorie. She always speaks positively. She cares. She prays for you. The Bible states that when 2 or more are gathered in the Lord's name he will hear you. It has helped my brother who I was having trouble with. As well as helped me. There is something special about her that is hard to find in people. I like her. I need her. I pray that she is always safe and happy. Thank you for her.

Written on Mar 30, 2024 after therapy with Dorie for 3 weeks on issues concerning relationship

I came to Dorie completely broken and devastated and by only 3 sessions with her, I started feeling little better already. Her guidance and genuine empathy made me feel less alone, she truly sees where you are coming from. Her tips are amazing and she tailors her approach to the situation I am in. I do have a long way to go to become a better person but Dorie has given me hope and support that I didn't had before. Also, her warm and down to earth personality really helps me see myself from a different more realistic angle and teaches me to have more compassion for myself.

Dorie has been with me for roughly 4 months. She has helped me a lot by using emdr, and I’ve been able to reprocess my traumas. I’ve learned so much about myself and finally feel like I am truly in a good place. I recommend Dorie because she ends the session with prayer, she isn’t judgemental, and she genuinely cares for her patients. I do hope our paths cross again!

Written on Feb 28, 2023 after therapy with Dorie for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, grief, and coping with life changes

Dorie has been a such a light and blessing to me when I was going through an anxious time in my life. She quickly helped me identify where a lot of my anxiety comes from and has given me extra tools to help cope and move past anxious times. She shared personal experiences with me that I took a lot from especially for navigating motherhood. I was able to open up and trust her very easily and early on because she listens, is empathetic, and encouraging. I loved that Dorie has a strong faith and that she was able to incorporate that into our conversations. Each session was ended in prayer (per my permission) and I found that to be so calming, caring, and truly special. I highly recommend Dorie to anyone looking to better understand themselves and make improvements in their life and mental health.

Dorie is the BEST! She is a wonderful Woman of God! I absolutely love that she asks if you would like for her to pray at the end of the session!
I've messed up and sent her a text to tell her about it. She's very understanding, but firm. You do not have to worry about her scolding you, but she will give you her best opinion and best advice!
I could go on and on about all of the things I love and appreciate about Dorie, but I'll stop there

Dorie has been extremely helpful. Though I feel like we've only just started, the new perspectives that she has provided have been grounding and reassuring, and her advice has been beneficial and supportive. I would not hesitate to recommend therapy in general, and Dorie in particular, to anyone struggling with a dead-end in their inner life.

Written on Sep 29, 2022 after therapy with Dorie for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, grief, coping with life changes, and coaching

I am a healthcare professional and new mom that has been in therapy with Dorie for 3 months! I had a recently devastating trauma and loss in our family and Dorie has helped me feel so equipped to grow, accept, and thrive during this time. She is a Christian woman who is so wise and candid and has experience raising children of her own. She is sensitive, approachable, has a great sense of humor, and is overall such a kind human being. She prays with me at the end of each session and has made me a believer and advocate of therapy and counseling! At first I was hesitant to try therapy, but I've found that it is such a great outlet for me to receive sound advice, process through my work/parenting/family situations and I leave sessions feeling calm and rejuvenated! I'm so glad I found Dorie as my therapist :)! Give her a try, you won't be disappointed! - Amanda

Warmth and Principle

Above and Beyond
-She always has a relevant answer for any question I have during our sessions. She is equally brilliant through the messaging feature. I can message her in between sessions and be assured that she'll respond with consistent sincerity and depth.

Dorie has been extremely helpful. She has a strong understanding of family dynamic, which is an important topic for me and central to the concerns that had me look into teencounseling.com.

It's also worth noting that this is my first time working with a therapist and Dorie has made the process very approachable. I highly recommend working with her.
