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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

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. It has helped my brother who I was having trouble with. As well as helped me. There is something special about her that is hard to find in people. I like her. I need her. I pray that she is always safe and happy. Thank you for her.
Dorie is very supportive in that she listens long enough to get to the root of yhe problem and then helps me address things in a manner that gets me unstuck. While is very kind and knowledgeable and helpful!

She’s great love having her
Dorie has been extremely helpful with a complicated challenging situation. She is very timely in getting back, and earnest about helping you with your challenges, She sends links to helpful websites in between sessions & always answers my emails. She shows great empathy & an earnestness to do all she can do as a licensed clinician to make therapy a good experience & help me resolve the challenges I have brought to you. She incorporates Christian teaching & is very well versed in this area. I would recommend Dorie as a solid professional in her field and feel the recommendation means somethings since I also am a licensed clinical therapist.
Great therapist! I've sent many referrals her way!
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.
Dorie is very professional and empathetic. I found it easy to connect to her. I would definitely recommend her to my friends.
Excellent on time and easy to work with hoping when i return i can work with dorie again
Great follow up
She’s very insightful and she really listens to my concerns and provides positive feedback. She’s very uplifting and I enjoy our weekly conversations and reporting back to her. She ends her sessions with prayer and it makes me feel so much lighter and I always leave my sessions with a big smile on my face! Dorie is amazing!
This woman is amazing. Words can't describe! She is a true woman of God, and I am so glad God brought her to me! She is so nice and genuine. She has a lot of experience in so many areas and she truly cares. I am so excited to see where God takes my therapy with her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone, even people who aren't Christians. She is an amazing therapist. I always look forward to our sessions. Thank you, Dorie!!
Dorie was the perfect first time therapist for me. She is compassionate and thoughtful and extremely helpful. Highly recommend.
Dorie has been very helpful in assisting me with identifying points of stress in my life which cause anxiety and guilt. While also providing useful tools to help recognize and alleviate those stressors. She is professional and kind. Highly recommend Dorie to anyone looking for a family therapist.
She’s very open and I felt very comfortable telling her what my issues were, overall great experience
Dorie is the BEST! She is a wonderful Woman of God! I absolutely love that she asks if you would like for her to pray at the end of the session! I've messed up and sent her a text to tell her about it. She's very understanding, but firm. You do not have to worry about her scolding you, but she will give you her best opinion and best advice! I could go on and on about all of the things I love and appreciate about Dorie, but I'll stop there
Postive professionals productive pleasure to work with
Dorie has been extremely helpful. Though I feel like we've only just started, the new perspectives that she has provided have been grounding and reassuring, and her advice has been beneficial and supportive. I would not hesitate to recommend therapy in general, and Dorie in particular, to anyone struggling with a dead-end in their inner life.
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
A Woman of Great Knowledge -Gave me a whole new perspective on family, dating, my past, and myself. Her knowledge and skills are like a mountainful of gemstones: precious and abundant. You will emerge from your sessions with armfuls of treasure every time Warmth and Principle -One of the warmest people I've ever met. The fire of Biblical principles burn bright and true in her heart, and flows in tender affection in every word she speaks. She makes you feel safe and cared for while inspiring you to be the best version of yourself you can be. Above and Beyond -She always has a relevant answer for any question I have during our sessions. She is equally brilliant through the messaging feature. I can message her in between sessions and be assured that she'll respond with consistent sincerity and depth.
Love Doris❤️ Super friendly and gives great tips
Dorie has been extremely helpful. She has a strong understanding of family dynamic, which is an important topic for me and central to the concerns that had me look into betterhelp. She's a great listener, very positive, but willing to go deep, challenge my thinking, or chime in with pragmatic advice when needed. It's also worth noting that this is my first time working with a therapist and Dorie has made the process very approachable. I highly recommend working with her.
Dorie is a wonderful therapist who helped me through some of my toughest times. She listens, understands, and responds with integrity and sincerity. I highly recommend her to anyone who is experiencing anxiety and worry over certain situations or experiences. I’m so glad I had the chance to work with her in my therapy journey.
It's been a wonderful experience. There has been no judgement and Mrs. Scofield has been helping me with my ptsd. I have a lot of hope for the reason that so far it has been a very positive experience. No demands just help, thank you!!!
Very good, I feel very comfortable and safe, thank I'm really working on myself.
When I felt so alone and misunderstood that I felt like a nothing- Dorie gave me friendship and moral emotional support where there was none to be found anywhere. The ability to text really makes the difference bc bad feelings can flood you at any moment. Truly better help, better than any I've had. And over tried them all.
I like her understanding and availability to be there when needed.
, Dorie has been an excellent match for me it doesn’t get better than this!
She is absolutely amazing! She helps me even not when I’m session.
