Therapists Beginning With D in Vermont

​​You've been experiencing sexual issues recently or maybe even for some time. You may be experiencing erectile difficulties or pain during sex. You’ve tried everything you’ve found on the internet but still, it's not working how you want. It's frustrating, isolating, infuriating, and confusing. It may even be difficult to remember a time when things didn’t feel this way. But now, you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to break the pattern and have your body and brain on the same page. You're ready for a more fulfilled sex life. And most of all, you’re ready to feel more connected in your sexuality!

Life can feel overwhelming or complicated. You may be feeling stuck or weighed down by work or relationships, or you may be struggling to change behaviors that prevent you from achieving your goals. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trouble with relationships, trauma, or other mental health issues, I am here to help. Seeking therapy is a step forward in working on yourself and gaining a better understanding of your thoughts and emotions.

I work with pre- adolescents, adolescents and adults to treat anxiety, depression, relationship, behavioral and adjustment issues. My style is highly compassionate, respectful and genuine.

I believe there are times that all of us will experience a sense of struggle. I believe in a collaborative approach to help people manage feelings and thoughts that make it harder to engage in experiencing life to its fullest. I have been in the mental health field since 2000 and support individuals and families in identifying life long tools to continue to cope.

The willingness to engage in a process, to consider other perspectives alongside of our own, to courageously seek assistance... all cornerstones to positive change. Ultimately, what we think can help lead us to what we become.

Greetings! My approach is client- centered; I work to build a positive, trusting relationship that focuses on your concerns and goals. I believe that our positive and negative thoughts often control or motivate our behaviors and feelings. if we can learn to question and change our negative thoughts, we can then start to shift our feelings and behaviors towards more positive outcomes.

My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work better together and understand and resolve challenges in your life. Through therapy we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

Limited weekday openings, online only. Darlene aims to help you develop internal resources that profoundly affect your life. "I want my clients to know that they can impact their experience." She uses non-traditional modalities to treat anxiety and trauma.

My goal is to create a safe, positive environment where you can explore the sources of stress and distress in your life. More than this, my goal is to work collaboratively with you to identify solutions and bring about positive change, whether in unwanted behaviors, challenging relationships, or new anxieties brought on by our ever-changing world.

Please contact via email first! (Easier for me to respond and get things started). I work well with clients seeking presence, compassion, and the space for vulnerability across a broad range of presenting concerns. My personal style supports witnessing and unburdening as much as "diagnosis" and "treatment". I offer validation and acceptance within a co-created relationship. Warmth and humor are necessary touchstones while we explore the arc of life.

Life is a funny thing. And often terribly complicated. During our journey in this world, we often face challenges that can feel too big or ongoing. Whether it’s with chronic feelings of anxiousness, depression, emptiness, issues about sexual orientation, gender, or ethnicity, relationship conflict, sleep disturbances, substance misuse, school or work issues, or any combination of those, many of us struggle silently. But you don't have to. It can help to work with a therapist with a deep understanding of what it’s like with some of those struggles and who is passionate about helping others learn to thrive despite these adversities.

Are you thinking about making a change? I am ready to help facilitate that change with you and empower you with skills to see that change happen! I have more than 10 years of therapy experience and we draw on and practice skills that best suit your needs to help you become the most successful you can be.

Asking for help can be one of the hardest decisions/actions an individual takes when they are struggling with actively using alcohol and/or substances. I also believe it is the most courageous decision/action you may make in your life. An individual who does this is allowing themselves to be vulnerable. When done with the right support can be the most rewarding and empowering experience for an individual. My goal as a counselor is to provide a safe, warm space for you as the client to explore your relationship with alcohol and/or substances.

I use a combination of therapeutic interventions to help with the diverse challenges that children, adolescents, and adults experience. My approach is warm, relational, and client-centered. I draw upon research and evidence based approaches, while also looking deeper at a narrative that may be causing distress. We will create goals for mental health treatment that best support your individual needs and the conflicts you or your child are facing. Together we learn what helps you feel better.

Many people look for a counselor when they recognize repeating patterns that aren't serving them well. They seek to understand how they got there. This pattern could be depression, overeating, low self-esteem, difficult relationships, parenting issues, body image, etc. I can provide assistance toward understanding and improving your patterns by helping you to reframe and overcome challenges you face through a positive lens. We can explore an array of informed, viable solutions, illuminating and reinforcing support systems, identifying and evaluating coping tools, their efficacy, and gaining new ones.
