My name is Dr. Rochelle Dorney. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (MHC) and Certified Addiction Specialist. I am licensed in Florida, New Jersey, Connecticut, Oregon, and Washington. I obtained my PsyD from California Southern University.

My ideal client is someone who recognizes they want positive change in their life but isn’t sure where to begin. You may feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or even struggle to identify what you need as you start your therapy journey. Together, we create a collaborative and supportive therapeutic experience tailored to your unique goals. In sessions, I use emotional processing, tools such as the Feelings Wheel, and evidence-based psychotherapy approaches. We work to increase self-awareness, process emotions, and develop practical strategies that foster healing, growth, and meaningful, lasting change.

I view counseling from a relational and integrative lens, blending the psychology of trauma with an attachment based approach to resolve core symptomatic issues that are interfering with today. I am a National Certified Counselor, and hold a masters certification in yoga therapy E-CYT500, and I hold a certification as Natural Health Professional CNHP. I am a trained EMDR provider and am working on certification in the trauma field. Every person has a innate ability to heal; I would be honored to be a bridge to your healing.

I create a safe space for individuals and couples to share, grow and heal. I will guide you through the complexities of individual conflict and pain, and help you resolve relational struggles. My passion is to help individuals and couples cope and heal as they face unexpected and very painful challenges. Together we can build a relationship based on openness, understanding, and trust, and free of all judgment. I will walk with you to help you discover the tools you need to acknowledge and share your pain, and help you find the peace that allows you to move forward in a healthy way.

You’re here because something in your relationship matters enough to tend to it. Maybe communication has become strained, or you feel more like roommates than partners. Maybe old patterns keep resurfacing, even though you both want something different. Underneath the frustration, there’s still care — and a desire to reconnect in a more intentional, emotionally mature way. I work with couples who are motivated to grow, willing to look inward, and ready to understand the deeper patterns shaping their relationship. My approach is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I help you slow down, make sense of what’s happening between you, and create the kind of connection that feels safe, responsive, and alive again. How I Work My work is rooted in Imago Relationship Therapy, a framework that helps partners understand the deeper emotional needs and early experiences that shape how they show up in love. Imago offers a structured, compassionate way to: - move from reactivity to understanding - communicate in ways that build connection rather than defensiveness - repair old hurts with clarity and care - create a relationship that feels intentional, supportive, and growth‑oriented What You Can Expect Together, we’ll slow things down so you can: - feel heard and understood - communicate with clarity and compassion - navigate conflict without losing connection - rebuild trust and emotional intimacy - create new relational habits that support long‑term closeness This is not a quick‑fix therapy. It’s intentional, steady work that helps you grow individually and together. If You’re Ready to Begin Reaching out is a meaningful first step. If you’re motivated to strengthen your relationship and want a therapist who brings warmth, depth, and a clear framework, I’d be honored to support your work together.

Whether it’s the child, teenager, adult, couple, or family who walks through my door, they’re often navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, conflict, or life transitions. With over 30 years of experience—and a calm, kind approach often described as grounded and trustworthy—I support those who may feel overwhelmed but are ready to heal, grow, and reconnect. They’re seeking more than symptom relief—they want lasting change, emotional strength, and meaningful connection. I walk alongside them with warmth, clarity, and practical tools—helping them build resilience, empowerment, and the confidence to move forward with peace, purpose, and hope I offer compassionate, experienced therapy rooted in trauma-informed care, play therapy, family systems, and emotional resilience. I help clients heal, strengthen relationships, and develop practical, personalized tools to overcome adversity. Together, we work toward greater clarity, confidence, emotional strength, and meaningful, lasting change. Whatever you're facing, you're not alone. I’ve walked alongside many who’ve felt lost, stuck, or broken—and watched them rise with new strength, hope, and empowerment. Let’s work together to forge a new chapter—one filled with courage, healing, growth, and hope. You have what it takes, and I’d be honored to support your journey forward.

If you're ready to better understand yourself, break free from self-doubt, and create a life that feels more authentic, therapy can help. Together, we'll explore how your past experiences have shaped your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and sense of self. My goal is to help you develop emotional maturity, strengthen self-awareness, and learn to embrace the present instead of living in anxiety or fear of what might happen. You'll gain practical tools to set healthy boundaries, prioritize your own needs without guilt, and build a life guided by your values rather than your fears. My work is grounded in a person-centered approach. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you with curiosity, respect, and honesty. Therapy with me is collaborative and conversational. It does not have to feel stiff or clinical. Growth can include insight, practical tools, and even moments of humor. My goal is to help you feel more confident, grounded, and aligned with the version of yourself you want to become — not a “perfect” version, but a more authentic and self-assured one.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life? Struggling to find the joy? Wondering what it all means? I am dedicated to providing a safe and loving space for you to discuss your deepest concerns without fear of judgment or misunderstanding. With over 30 years of experience in the healthcare helping professions, I have a deep and candid interest in understanding your perspective and supporting you as you learn to make the changes that will lead you closer to the life that you desire and deserve.

If you are feeling stuck in patterns of thinking or behavior that no longer serve you, therapy can provide a structured, supportive path forward. These patterns may be related to career uncertainty, challenges in relationships, or a desire for personal growth. I help adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain in their professional lives. Whether you’re facing burnout, workplace stress, time management challenges, relationship strain, or considering a career change, I focus on understanding what is driving the stress. I help you build practical skills you can apply in your daily life. I also offer relationship therapy and relationship counseling when stress affects your connections with others. Early in our work together, my goal is to help you feel grounded, supported and clearly understood while building momentum toward change. I believe that understanding creates lasting growth. Sessions balance deeper insight with practical skills and strategies you can actively use outside of therapy.

A client's relationship with his or her therapist is very important. Real change is possible only when a client feels comfortable being genuine with the therapist. This ability to be oneself fosters change within a safe environment where clients can explore their experiences. Together we can help you achieve more awareness and a more authentic life. I'm excited to help you choose a path to guide your life's choices. When working with a child who is struggling, I believe the entire family should be involved. Many challenges begin at home, making the family unit an important focal point. Within the confines of a judgment-free relationships, I can help you identify problematic family dynamics. With an understanding that no two situations are alike and that every person's struggles arise from a different background, we are able to set a personalized approach to your therapy.
