Doreen Archuleta

My communication style

I strive to provide empathic listening that includes being fully attentive, respectful, and approachable. I maintain a non-judgmental, compassionate demeanor and soft tone of voice. My goal is to make you feel comfortable, provide you with the right guidance, and let you know that you're in a safe place.

My journey to mental healthcare

My interest in becoming a therapist started when I met a psychologist who was kind and compassionate, and seemed to understand concerns I had coming from a home of divorce where domestic violence and alcoholism had impacted our family. I knew then I wanted to be in the helping professions and dedicate my life to bringing hope and healing to others.

My goals for you

I work with clients to set therapy goals such as developing coping skills for anxiety or overwhelming emotions, reducing symptoms, increasing self-esteem, improving sleep, learning communication strategies, processing trauma, inviting mindfulness into daily life, and sharpening decision-making skills.

Our first session

The first session is a time of getting acquainted. We'll cover confidentiality, what brings you to therapy, your symptoms, history including childhood and relationships, and discuss the treatment plan and goals. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions about the therapy process.
