Therapists in Bingham, IL

I am interested in helping people progress in the areas of balancing relationships, creating appropriate boundaries, and navigating life transitions. My therapeutic style combines collaboration, solution-focused planning/strategizing, and cognitive-behavioral theory. My nearly two decades of experience working with people to decrease the things that they do not like about themselves. I have assisted children and adults /couples with improving their coping and communicative skills en route to addressing an array of issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and interpersonal relationships. I utilize an integrative approach to treatment, tailoring to best meet the individual needs and goals of clients. My clinical interests include contemporary psychoanalytic theory and practice, solution-focused therapy, strength-based interventions, and spirituality concerns. My goal is to provide hope. Anyone can have freedom from any concern using tools that they already possess, the ability to survive. My goal is to tap into that ability to survive and create real-time solutions that provide freedom. I attained a Bachelor of Science degree from Moody Bible Institute in 1998. I completed a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2002 and have been a licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Illinois since 2009. Life happens. We work together to make sure that you see hope in action.

Please call me Dorrie. I have been a counselor for 24 years primarily working with Veterans and their families. I am excited to be on Better Help to use my clinical experience on this online platform. I like to use worksheets and journals to get to know you when we are not doing sessions. I received my Masters in Social Work from the University of South Carolina. I use positive psychology, cognitive behavioral approach and emotional literacy to guide you through your issues. Positive psychology helps you to explore yourself through recognizing the positives in your life and accentuating them. The cognitive behavior approach helps you look closely at the decisions you make and the emotional literacy approach looks at how your emotions effect your decisions. I call myself a resource counselor because I will give you lots of material - handouts, worksheets, and internet links - to review and hopefully apply to your life. I am Christian and believe using the Bible that expresses wisdom and encourages love. God made each of us unique and "God saw that it was good." As an experienced therapist, I will adjust my style to your needs. My goal is to help you enjoy life.
