Dorothea Carmichael

Hi there, I'm Dorothea!

I am passionate about listening to clients' needs and empowering clients to reach their goals.

My focus

I work with adults, aged 18 and up. My specialties include relationship counseling, anxiety, depression, stress management, and building positive self-esteem.

My approach

My approach to therapy is strengths-based and client-centered. I like to assist clients with tapping into their inner strengths to overcome obstacles. During your session, I provide empathy and unconditional positive regard. Clients are encouraged to explore their inner selves and learn tools to create their desired future.

My communication style

The tone of my therapeutic work aims to provide a warm, safe environment where clients can share their emotions and engage in a nonjudgmental therapeutic process.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a therapist because I believe people can cultivate the life they want and navigate through difficult obstacles along the way as long as they have the right tools to do so. I find it rewarding to watch individuals grow in areas of their lives and manage their mental health in an effective way.

My goals for you

As a therapist, I assess my clients' needs and engage them in treatment planning based on their specific areas of weakness that are agreed upon by the client.

Our first session

During the first session, I start building rapport with clients by learning their immediate needs and motivation for beginning therapy.
