Doreen is a licensed clinical professional counselor who has been in a private practice for 30 years. Her Master of Arts in community counseling graduate degree is from Governor's State University. Doreen graduated with high honors from this nationally acclaimed counselor education program in 1994 and has continued to serve as a site-supervisor for counseling interns for the University since that time. She is a member of the National Board of Certified Counselors and the American Counseling Association.

She works with various populations dealing with issues concerning depression, anxiety disorders, life transitions, parenting, eating disorders, grief and loss, spirituality, divorce recovery, relationship counseling, anger-management, co-dependency, and stress management. Doreen's eclectic theoretical approach comes from the belief that each individual enters therapy with a unique set of beliefs and life experiences, and that effective counseling must embrace each person's specific needs.

About Our Practice

Aside from Doreen's clinical work, she opened her practice 15 years ago. Doreen's vision for her practice was to seek out competent, highly qualified clinicians to join her mission in transforming lives within the surrounding communities through the use of the healing powers of counseling. She worked over the years to build a practice that provides individuals and families with the opportunity to enhance their lives and reach their goals while being supported by a comprehensive team of counselors, social workers, psychologists, and psychiatrists. Her hard work and dedication resulted in the practice that exists today and is comprised of highly educated, competent clinicians with a passion for making a difference and achieving healing through therapeutic intervention. Further, Doreen ensures that each and every client that walks through the door has a positive experience from beginning to end due to her careful selection of office staff who provide a warm, welcoming environment all while taking care of the clients' needs for scheduling, insurance billing, and other clerical conveniences.
