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.

Counseling at Willow River Wellness aims to empower, educate, and uplift those who are navigating challenges throughout the reproductive life cycle. Whether you are struggling with the emotional rollercoaster of infertility, the anxiety of perfectionism, the darkness of grief, the complexities of a difficult pregnancy, an overwhelming postpartum period, or the confusion of perimenopause, I focus on providing support and guidance in a concierge-style, client-centered manner. My approach will always be tailored specifically to your unique situation. Even if you are simply dealing with the weight of day-to-day stress and frustration, therapeutic support may be beneficial. Please note that my work with couples is for those facing fertility or loss challenges together.

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.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Healing starts when you make sense of your experiences, recognize your strengths, and create a path forward that aligns with the life you want to live. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you explore your story, overcome obstacles, and build a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and substance use concerns. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and personalized to your unique needs, goals, and experiences.

At Belief Counseling, we believe that meaningful change begins in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and respected. Our approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s unique needs, strengths, experiences, and goals. We work with children, adolescents, adults, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), behavioral and emotional challenges, trauma, grief, family conflict, life transitions, and school-related stress. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, we incorporate evidence-based interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, solution-focused strategies, psychoeducation, and the Modular Approach to Therapy for Children (MATCH), when clinically appropriate. With children and adolescents, we strive to make therapy engaging and developmentally appropriate while helping them strengthen emotional regulation, coping, communication, confidence, and problem-solving skills. We also recognize the important role of parents and caregivers, and we collaborate with families when appropriate to support progress beyond the therapy session. For adults, therapy provides a supportive space to better understand emotions, recognize unhelpful patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, strengthen relationships, and work toward meaningful personal goals. At Belief Counseling, our goal is not simply to focus on symptoms, but to understand the whole person and help each client build practical skills that can be used in everyday life. We meet clients where they are and work alongside them as they move toward greater emotional well-being, resilience, and meaningful change. Services are available in English and Spanish, both in person and through telehealth in Florida.

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you’ve been carrying a lot on your own. My goal is to create an affirming, compassionate space where you can show up as your whole self, feel genuinely understood, and talk openly about what’s happening in your life without judgment. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, identity, relationships, self-esteem, parenting, and major life transitions. I have particular expertise in LGBTQIA+ affirming care and reproductive mental health, including infertility and family building, pregnancy, postpartum experiences, and the many emotions and transitions that can accompany the path to parenthood. My approach is collaborative, practical, and tailored to you. We’ll explore what’s bringing you to therapy, identify what you’d like to change, and build on your existing strengths while developing tools that can help you move forward. I draw from evidence-based approaches while recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all way to do therapy. I offer individual therapy via telehealth and believe therapy can be a place for both support and meaningful growth—where you can better understand yourself, navigate difficult seasons, and create changes that feel authentic and sustainable.

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.

My journey in the world of counseling is driven by a genuine desire to help individuals find their strength amidst challenges. With a background deeply rooted in trauma-informed care and substance use therapy, I aim to provide a space where healing is not just a possibility but a certainty. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), National Certified Counselor (NCC), Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CCMHC), and Master’s Level Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP), I bring a multidisciplinary approach to my work, combining my training in mental health, family systems, and addiction recovery to support individuals, couples, and families. I've witnessed the remarkable resilience of individuals in dark moments and believe that with empathetic connection and evidence-based treatment, true transformation is possible. I am committed to walking alongside those who are ready to reclaim their lives and thrive through personalized, empathetic care.

Are you struggling in your relationships? Relationships can be complicated, and it is natural for people to see things differently. Yet, some of life’s greatest joys come from the connections we build with our loved ones. The quality of our relationships deeply impacts our overall well-being. If you are feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns, caught in the same arguments, or unsure if things can truly improve, you’re not alone. If you feel hopeless about the future of your relationship and are unsure whether to stay or go, you don’t have to navigate this alone. If you are facing conflict, trust issues, or lingering emotional wounds, support is available—healing is possible. With nearly fifteen years of professional experience, I have developed a deep understanding of the complexities that shape our relationships. Using evidence-based psychotherapy methods, I work closely with clients to help them navigate challenges, heal from past wounds, and foster personal growth. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative—empowering clients to gain insight into thought patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that may be holding them back. Together, we will develop healthy coping strategies and rebuild strong, fulfilling relationships with yourself and those you love. I integrate a range of therapeutic modalities, including emotionally focused therapy (EFT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), relational life therapy (RLT), The Gottman Method, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), tailoring my approach to each client’s unique needs. Additionally, I offer brainspotting, a highly effective method for processing traumatic memories and alleviating emotional distress.

My mission is to be a catalyst for healing and change to provide relief from suffering and empower you to create the life you want. We all deserve to enjoy a full, rich, and rewarding life, and we all possess the innate wisdom and ability to heal and improve our lives, with guidance and support, if we can unburden ourselves enough to see clearly. Everyone's life has challenges. Sometimes things get in the way and throw us off track or lead us down a dark path. If that has happened to you, we are here to help. Whatever you are struggling with, the time to act is before things become unbearable. My associates and I have the knowledge and skills to help you reach your therapy goals. Take the first step toward getting your life back.

My approach to counseling is compassionate, client-centered, and evidence-based. I understand that every individual, couple, and group brings unique experiences, challenges, and strengths to therapy, which is why I tailor each treatment plan to meet your specific needs and goals. Using research-supported therapeutic modalities, I focus on helping clients gain insight, build emotional resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change. I strive to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we work on developing practical coping strategies, improving emotional regulation, and strengthening self-awareness. Whether you are navigating personal challenges, seeking individual therapy, improving connection through couples counseling, or participating in group therapy, my approach integrates clinical expertise with empathy, collaboration, and deep respect for your healing journey.
