Doreen Van Leeuwen
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I'm available to meet with you via cellphone, tablet, laptop or desktop, using virtual visit, telephone session, email or text messaging.
Our world situation is making it hard to feel safe or secure anywhere, and no one seems to have answers for questions like "When are things going to be normal again?" It's okay to be scared, confused and out of sorts right now, because life as you knew it has radically changed! My job isn't to fix you, because I don't believe that you are "broken". You are hiring me to deeply listen to you, so that together we discover how to help you get through this incredibly strange time. My training and experience in crisis management and disaster mental health are geared to protect and enhance your resilience moving forward.
First of all, I want you to feel safe, supported and able to share your story. I ask questions to understand you deeply and to uncover not only your challenges, but also your strength and insight. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, feelings of panic, or waves of despondency, I know many tools and resources to help you recover hope and peace of mind.
Even in these uncertain times, you might think therapy is for wusses or you might feel ashamed for wanting help. But NO ONE has the textbook on what it feels like to be in YOUR skin, or how YOU should cope. It's really okay to talk through your ideas and your fears with someone OTHER than your mother, because you already know what she's going to say, right??
