Dorie Hanson, LMHC, CCTP, QS

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals through some of life’s most difficult and transformative moments. Whether you’re grieving the loss of a loved one, navigating relationship challenges or workplace stress, adjusting to a major life transition, or processing past or recent trauma, therapy can offer a space to pause, reflect, and begin healing.

I am certified in working with clients struggling with Grief and Trauma, and also have extensive experience working with anxiety related and mood disorders. 

I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where you can show up exactly as you are. My role is to walk alongside you in your journey — not to tell you where to go, but to support you in discovering your own path forward.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in empowerment. I believe that healing begins when we feel seen, heard, and supported in reclaiming our own strength and voice. Together, we’ll work to reconnect with your sense of purpose and help you build the skills and insight needed to move through challenges with confidence and clarity.

I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based practices, and person-centered therapy. Each session is individualized to meet your specific needs and goals — therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and I tailor our work to reflect your unique experience and pace.

Whether this is your first time seeking therapy, you’ve had a previous experience that didn’t feel like the right fit, or you’re simply looking for someone new to connect with, I’m glad you’re here. Taking the step to reach out is a meaningful act of self-care, and I’d be honored to support you in whatever comes next.
