Pre-Licensed Professional, MS

We all have times where we feel overwhelmed, alone, dissatisfied, stuck, or worried. It helps to have somewhere to turn, where we can freely share our feelings and experiences. Often, just processing concerns with a caring, objective listener increases clarity and leads to new insights. I love helping people navigate challenges and find healing. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, life transitions, career dissatisfaction, adjustment to parenting, adjustment to separation/divorce, grief & loss, and chronic illness and disability.

My background as a professional musician and record producer also allows me a deep understanding of issues faced by creative people, including tension between creative drive and other commitments, struggles with creative partners, and feeling unfulfilled when your creative energy is drained by your day job.

Do you want to feel seen, heard, and affirmed? Do you struggle with worries of what others think? Do you often feel as if you're "hustling for your worthiness"? Together we can work to find your voice and help you learn how to use it effectively to self-advocate, set healthy boundaries, and challenge internalized narratives of shame and people-pleasing that have left you stuck, exhausted, and lonely. I work collaboratively with teens and adults who are experiencing the effects of trauma, anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, relationship issues, and navigating difficulties associated with intersectional identities.
Doug Vogel
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Verified
Men are often raised to believe that expressing emotions, or asking for help is a sign of weakness. Many of us were taught to be stoic, no matter what we are feeling. This unfortunate and destructive stigma can influence many to ignore the importance of striving to be mentally healthy, or to avoid confiding in close friends or family. This type of emotional isolation can lead to unhealthy stress levels, difficulty with relationships, or general dissatisfaction with life. It is not just a men's issue, as many women have similar struggles.
