"Hello, My name is Dorrie and I have been a Marriage and Family Therapist for many decades now. During my career, I had the unique opportunity to serve as the Play Therapist for a pre-school special education program. My many young clients there helped me become a skilled play therapist. As a play therapist I think it is crucial that you follow a child's lead in the therapeutic process. I believe in the same concept when I work with adults. I follow my client's lead as they know how to heal best. My job is to help a client, no matter what age, find their own way. "

"As stresses continue to circulate us throughout life, it helps to have guidance in developing a path that not only addresses the troubles you are experiencing, but also leads to a stronger sense of self and connection with others. We all want to feel happier and more effective in our lives. If you find yourself overwhelmed with daily life, having difficulty building healthy relationships, or have experienced painful events that leave you feeling paralyzed, and you are looking for a way to take the necessary steps to move forward, you do not have to figure it out alone."

"Let's face it, people typically don't want to seek counseling. By virtue of looking for a therapist, you're acknowledging a difficult issue in your life, one that you haven't been able to conquer on your own. Regardless of what you do for relief, it proves unsuccessful. Counseling can help but can be very difficult. It requires that you face the issues that you don't want to have. The therapist you choose should be someone you believe can guide you on this difficult journey, helping you get to the core issues that are truly impacting your life."

"I specialize in supporting teens and 20-somethings who are chronically anxious and nonstop worrying. These years are full of change, which can cause worry to compound. Change can include navigating the challenging years of middle and high school; going away to college; or managing the pressure that comes with finding your place in your career and professional world. People often find me when they are completely worn down from worrying, overanalyzing, and compromising their needs and boundaries to please others and fit in - it's exhausting!"

"“What are we here for, if not for each other” ~ Siddiq. As a global crisis changes life as we know it, we are in uncharted territory. Discomfort, vulnerability, fear and anger are normal responses to an abnormal situation. You may be feeling alienated, anxious, isolated, frustrated, depressed, and stressed. Individually and as a society we are grieving the loss of what was “normal” as we adjust to the oft-mentioned “new normal”, and we do not yet know what the future holds. You may be grieving the loss of face-to-face social connection, a sense of safety, financial security, or—even worse—the loss of loved ones. You are not alone. "

You are invited to ask questions and be an active participant. I view you as an individual, but in the context of the broader systems in which you operate; family, community, work-life and spiritual."

"I AM STILL OPEN. Each of us has faced painful personal experiences. Pain can be due to particular events, interactions with others or troubled relationships. Or they can be caused by negative behavior or thought patterns that won’t stop. Some people can address such troubles on their own. However, if you have been unable to resolve difficult issues alone, you may realize how they reduce the quality of your life – by establishing a pattern of emotional problems, an inability to interact productively with others, impacting your career, negatively affect relationships, or create problematic habits. But they can be addressed with help."

"Hi, since 1978 I've specialized in human sexuality, pornography problems, mood disorders, PTSD and Marriage Counseling. My comprehensive approach to counseling integrates the psychological and spiritual aspects of life in a way which not only treats painful symptoms but also heals the underlying emotional wounds. I believe that empathic listening which understands without judging is the foundation of emotinal healing. Therapy is a process of gaining a wider perspective which reveals how past trauma are connected to present problems. Greater mindfulness reveals old and problematic response patterns which then can be discarded and replaced by new and better ones."

"There are no ideal clients -- there are only ideal therapeutic relationships. Every client brings their issues into session. As a therapist my hope is that we are able to address these issues with mutual authenticity. This authenticity comes from our mutual interest in honesty, presenting our genuine selves, and our willingness to work together in finding solutions to issues that impede the client's ability to live a fulfilling life. "
