If you struggle with anxiety, depression, and trauma, you have come to the right spot. If you have troubles with others relating to you and often stop believing in yourself, Doreen Vosburg can help you. Your life might not be what you imagined and thus it is causing you to feel isolated or like you are going crazy. 

No, you are not going crazy. You simply can benefit from a counselor who can listen and understand how to help. Doreen Vosburg has made this her mission… to help you find the best version of yourself, so you can live your best life possible.

For over 20 years, Doreen Vosburg has helped adults resolve relationship issues and recover from anxiety, depression and trauma. Additionally, she helps family members on the autism spectrum, as she has a personal experience with these unique issues.

Visual participation is a must.

Part of your therapy sessions will likely include visual techniques through online teletherapy. Many clients find this more effective and convenient than in-person therapy because they are more comfortable in their homes.

Some home-bound adults cannot access counseling services because they lack transportation or don’t have the needed technology.

Our 50-minute sessions start with welcoming you to the session and asking how you are doing. We begin by discussing if there is anything specifically you would like to discuss. If not, we review our plan and discuss how our previous plans went. We strengthen or learn new skills and techniques. Questions are answered and we make a new plan before you go.

Therapy can feel strange at first. When people are not used to having someone listen, it can be overwhelming to be heard and seen. It takes courage and strength to talk about things that make you feel vulnerable. We take steps that are comfortable for you and go at your own pace. We pay attention to where you’re feeling emotion, stress, tension and anxiety in your body and work with it.

Sometimes therapy can become frustrating, and at other times, it is exciting. Overall, my clients look forward to trying some of the suggested techniques.

Our sessions are structured; sometimes, my clients are surprised to learn a new perspective. Many clients say, “I never thought of it like that.” They say they prefer me because I’m blunt but kind and will tell them the truth.

There are ebbs and flows, just like in the rest of life. Keep your sessions even when things are going well. Many people don’t get to celebrate these achievements outside of our sessions. We can celebrate your wins together.

The benefits outweigh the cost.

Of course, you can try this alone. I’ve tried that myself and learned to trust somebody and take that risk. Taking the chance to trust someone is scary, but I didn’t do it alone. You don’t, either. These don’t come naturally because you haven’t received prior instruction on doing this for yourself. That is why we are right here, right now.

The benefits of us working together:
• Gain great relief and a breath of fresh air!
• No longer will you have to go at it alone.
• Learn to trust, listen and validate your ideas.

As you manage and process your emotions, you will begin to think clearly and not lose your cool. Get in more control regardless of the situation, allowing you to regain your life and feel a renewed sense of purpose.

About Me

About DoreenMy perspective comes from life experience and training.

I’ve been where you are and lived through all the crap you are going through now. Those life experiences make me a better therapist because I can genuinely connect with my clients at a level that most therapists cannot. That makes me different, and that’s why I’m here. I want to help other people through the biggest challenges of their lives.

My professional training started with a Bachelor’s Degree in Counseling from Wayne State College and a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Missouri – Columbia.

I helped clients in Missouri and Texas before becoming a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota and North Dakota, which required an additional 12 college credits of post-graduate work. I am also a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina and Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington. I am certified to practice Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

In my time outside of therapy…

I love being outdoors, going for walks, camping, kayaking, roasting marshmallows, and sitting by the fire. Indoors, I like to read and do cross stitch.
