The use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and supportive counseling helps her to give individuals and groups the uncovered strength that they have to go through life.
You can expect me to listen to what you have to express without judgement and allowing me to explore each biological, individual's psychological, social and spiritual needs.
My greatest strength is my listening and not talking. I get most of my information that way. The diverse backgrounds of working with veterans and civilians
Doris works from a Cognitive Behavioral approach, working collaboratively with those facing who are facing mental illnesses, medical concerns as well as those facing issues of death and dying.
Working as a licensed clinical social worker has provided me the opportunity to assist individuals going through life experiences with support of a professional therapist. My experience varies from supporting those with chronically mentally illnesses, anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders.
Working with individuals to face their thoughts, feelings and behaviors, allows me to give them some tools to use to change their thoughts and behaviors for when this experience comes up again.
