Hello I'm Evonna Dorsey, proprietor of Perfect Peace Counseling & Consoling (PPCC)- a faith based practice located in Kentucky. I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding among patients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix. Therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the patient and caretaker alike. In the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results.

If you've felt weighed down, stuck, empty, suffering, low energy, locked in a pattern, unsure of yourself, without meaning, or alone then the chances are you're searching for a new way of being. We've all been feeling some form of these at some point, or many points in our lives. Odds are, it all makes sense as to why. If you've suffered from some form of trauma like many of us have, you'll be relieved to know that there are ways to understand these unconscious patterns in your life that honor your journey and bring out your awareness of your truest strengths and brilliance where you'll be empowered as you heal and grow.

Healthy relationships exist among people and groups who are willing and able to meet each other's needs. In my experience conflict and distress arise when a person's needs are not met. I am committed to helping clients identify, name, and define their needs in order to create better circumstances to achieve them. The specific areas I find most helpful are intrapersonal, relational, and spiritual.

Many people suffer alone with mental health issues for years before they ask for help. I use Buddhist meditation techniques along with evidence based trauma therapies to help people break through these harmful patterns. I offer a variety of approaches including EMDR, IFS, and meditation/mindfulness techniques that are uniquely suited to treat trauma and associated issues such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and PTSD. Individual, family, and group therapy options are currently available.

Are thoughts of retirement or making career changes bringing up fear and angst for you? Have you recently become a caregiver for a loved one who is struggling with a chronic illness or have you been diagnosed with a life-threatening chronic illness and are still coming to terms with it? Are you struggling with a relationship loss or a death loss? As we go through life we undergo so many transitions- some planned and some unplanned. If you need a safe space to explore how these transitions are affecting you then I may be the professional for you.

With our world increasingly changing every day, feelings of ‘uncertainty’ are constantly on the rise. Often, we can find it difficult to consistently meet the challenges and demands of our given lifestyle. But add to this that we are frequently taken to task by a ‘surprise unknown’ or two: Lost jobs. Lost relationships. Health issues. Even a lost childhood pulling at you. Maybe all of the above, and then some! Of course, each of us tries to meet these unknowns to the best of our ability. And at times even our absolute best efforts won’t get us back on course.

I absolutely am passionate about encouraging others to make the time to nurture their mental well being and health, across all ages and populations. Adding the expressive and creative techniques I am trained in accelerates growth and change by tapping into the right part of the brain and provides a fun and creative way to problem solve and engage with each other. The sand tray, storytellling, and expessive arts are for all ages and no talent needed just an open mind. Traditional talk therapy is always an option and I meet each client where they are at for that session.

The justice system touches everyone's lives in some way, shape, or form. I believe that crime and violence are a violation of relationships that can be repaired if you receive the treatment you need for your anger, substance use, trauma, or personality problems. I can help you with your treatment and assessment needs. If you are working in the justice system, due to the stressful situations frequently encountered, you can get worn down and tired, and professionalism can start to deteriorate. I can provide preventable emotional well-being support to keep you invested in your justice career.
