Counseling = a safe space to share, feel, think, ponder problems, grieve, hope, brainstorm solutions, practice healthy habits, and heal in mind-body-spirit. If you think you are--or even might be--open to positive change, EMAIL (DrDanaDoerksen@ gmail.com). For 20+ years, I've had the honor of walking WITH people in healing through the counseling relationship. I am empathetic and engaged in supporting clients as they process ups-&-downs and pursue their goals. I am confident about having expertise but definitely don't know all the answers. I enjoy learning from clients and deeply value clients' wisdom-- YOUR perspective for growth!
