Counseling... a safe space to share, feel, think, ponder problems, grieve, hope, brainstorm solutions, practice healthy habits, heal in mind-body-spirit, and flourish forward. Please EMAIL me (DrDanaDoerksen gmail.com) for an initial appointment. For over 20 years, I've had the honor of walking WITH people in healing through the counseling relationship. I am empathetic and engaged in supporting clients as they process ups & downs and pursue their goals. I am confident about having expertise but definitely don't know all the answers. I enjoy learning from clients and deeply value each client's wisdom: your perspective for growth.
Overview: PhD: Counselor Education; MA: Marriage & Family Therapy; BA: Psychology; LPC: Licensed Professional Counselor, Texas; Certified Yoga Instructor (Trauma Conscious Yoga Method); MAC: Master Addiction Counselor; Approaches: meditation & breathing, mind-body-spirit, CBT, boundaries, DBT, mindfulness, IFS, self-compassion, +more
I affirm your interest in pursuing health through counseling. If you'd like to schedule a consult with me, great. Please email, and we can find a time to talk. Also, if you'd prefer to find a counselor who might be a better fit for you, that's great too. "Just do it" so you can feel better in mind-body-spirit, sooner rather than later. Best! Dr Dana :)
