I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in Missouri providing counseling regarding emotional, relational, career, and spiritual concerns. While my passion is marriage counseling, I have worked well with individual adults, teens, children, and families. It has been my privilege to work with a variety of ages regarding marriage/family/parenting concerns, peer pressure, anger management, anxiety disorders, learning disabilities, social awkwardness, bullying, self-esteem, depression, motivation, grief, moral character, life calling, and career exploration. I work from a Family Systems Theory perspective that integrates well with various modalities. I have been trained in play therapy and Cognitive/Behavioral techniques that are highly effective with children. It is my goal to have a positive impact on others by challenging them to reach for their highest potential in life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

It is such a joy to talk to Dorie. She always speaks positively. She cares. She prays for you. The Bible states that when 2 or more are gathered in the Lord's name he will hear you.

Dorie has been with me for roughly 4 months. She has helped me a lot by using emdr, and I’ve been able to reprocess my traumas. I’ve learned so much about myself and finally feel like I am truly in a good place. I recommend Dorie because she ends the session with prayer, she isn’t judgemental, and she genuinely cares for her patients. I do hope our paths cross again!

Dorie has been a such a light and blessing to me when I was going through an anxious time in my life. She quickly helped me identify where a lot of my anxiety comes from and has given me extra tools to help cope and move past anxious times. She shared personal experiences with me that I took a lot from especially for navigating motherhood. I was able to open up and trust her very easily and early on because she listens, is empathetic, and encouraging. I loved that Dorie has a strong faith and that she was able to incorporate that into our conversations. Each session was ended in prayer (per my permission) and I found that to be so calming, caring, and truly special. I highly recommend Dorie to anyone looking to better understand themselves and make improvements in their life and mental health.

I am a healthcare professional and new mom that has been in therapy with Dorie for 3 months! I had a recently devastating trauma and loss in our family and Dorie has helped me feel so equipped to grow, accept, and thrive during this time. She is a Christian woman who is so wise and candid and has experience raising children of her own. She is sensitive, approachable, has a great sense of humor, and is overall such a kind human being. She prays with me at the end of each session and has made me a believer and advocate of therapy and counseling! At first I was hesitant to try therapy, but I've found that it is such a great outlet for me to receive sound advice, process through my work/parenting/family situations and I leave sessions feeling calm and rejuvenated! I'm so glad I found Dorie as my therapist :)! Give her a try, you won't be disappointed! - Amanda
