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.

In these uncertain times, I offer a safe place for clients to explore their fears and concerns related to Covid-19. I provide Telehealth services as a way of supporting those who are struggling to adjust to this new way of life. Further, I work with doctors, nurses and health care personnel who are adjusting to changes not only in their home and personal life, but also with the changing standards of healthcare. My compassionate approach to therapy allows clients to find comfort in an honest therapeutic relationship, in order to achieve their personal goals for healing. I work to create a non-judgmental and supportive environment that promotes an individual's personal strengths and innate ability to resolve his or her own life struggles. I am particularly interested in the dynamics of families and the impact they have on an individual's relationships and schemas. My intention is to gain an understanding of clients' patterns of behaviors and use my training and intuition to guide treatment and establish therapeutic goals. My interest in nutrition influences my understanding of mental health, as I recognize the importance of physical health and its effects on one's thoughts and emotions. I have studied the gut-brain connection extensively and believe that achieving balance in one's microbiome (or "gut bacteria") can lead to tremendous improvements in overall emotional and mental wellness. It is not uncommon for clients with "treatment resistant" depression and anxiety to begin to experience symptom relief when taking this approach. I work with my clients to help educate them on the gut-brain connection, and direct them to resources that can help guide them on their path to healing. Additionally, I am formally trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and use my knowledge of DBT to provide practical life skills to my clients in the areas of mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. This type of therapy helps people to navigate the often messy world of emotions, and normalize the emotional conflicts that arise in everyday life. My intention in my work is to help clients to build insight into their patterns of behavior, heal their physical bodies, and provide them with DBT skills that will improve their ability to navigate life's challenges. I invite you to call me directly to see how I may be able to help you to reach your own personal goals.

Relationships are the foundation of our lives. At the Florida Relationship Institute, we are dedicated to reviving, reworking, and restoring couple and family relationships so they can be the best they can be. As specialists in marriage and family psychology, we understand that every relationship is unique.

I consider myself to be empathic and a great listener.Your concerns truly matter to me, and I find it important to make sure that our work reflects your important goals. I am an active therapist. I give a lot of feedback but am very careful not to impose my values or opinions. On the contrary, I strive to help you come up with your own answers and to develop the confidence to make your own choices and decisions. I am proud to integrate the principles of Emotionally Focused Therapy in my work with couples.

Do you wake up with a tight knot in your stomach, dreading the challenges of the day? Does your mind race with worry, making it hard to focus or enjoy your achievements? As a high-performing individual, the weight of expectations pressing down on you can lead to persistent worry, stress, or even panic attacks that disrupt your daily life. You might find yourself unable to relax, your mind always racing with 'what ifs' and worst-case scenarios. This relentless cycle of anxiety leaves you feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. It can feel like there's no escape from the constant pressure affecting every aspect of your life.

Sometimes in life, our lives can become too stressful and overwhelming to cope with on our own. We may struggle with feelings of depression, anxiety, or not being good enough in some way. It is during these periods in life when seeking help or support is important for our overall wellbeing. It is my passion to help others struggling with significant difficulties in their lives. I care about the people I work with and my goal is to provide an environment where you feel heard and understood.

I am so grateful and proud of you for taking this huge first step in seeking out therapy. I believe every person has the power to change their life and create positive change from within, and I am extremely passionate about mental health and the transformative power it holds in our lives. I graduated with my master's in clinical mental health counseling from Liberty University, a CACREP-accredited program, and am a registered mental health counseling intern in the state of Florida. My clinical experience spans a broad range of populations and settings—I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families in both individual and group therapy contexts. I have extensive experience conducting group therapy sessions using evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I have also provided individual and family therapeutic sessions, helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, interpersonal challenges, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), and a wide variety of other life struggles. What makes my approach unique is that I bring both professional training and personal experience to our work together. I have personally struggled with anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress (PTSD), which allows me to genuinely empathize and resonate with my clients who are walking through similar dark seasons. I believe in practicing what I preach—I have been in therapy myself and understand firsthand that self-improvement is hard work, and real change takes courage. I utilize a broad range of therapeutic modalities tailored to your specific needs. I use person-centered therapy to gain a deeper understanding of you and your personal perspective, and I operate from both cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy frameworks while incorporating acceptance and commitment therapy to create acceptance and generate positive, actionable change moving forward. I believe everyone can change their lives, and starting therapy is a huge first step. I am honored to be a part of each person's healing journey, and I would love the opportunity to work with you and be a part of your next step forward into the life you deserve.

I believe that healing begins with understanding, and my approach to care is grounded in respect, active listening, and building trust with my patients. As a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I'm dedicated to delivering compassionate, evidence-based mental health care that addresses both your immediate needs and long-term wellness goals. My career has given me a unique perspective on the vital connection between physical and mental health. I began my nursing career at Georgetown University Hospital, working in neurology and neurosurgery, where I developed a deep appreciation for how our brain health impacts our emotional well-being. This foundation has proven invaluable as I transitioned into psychiatric nursing, where I've gained extensive experience across diverse settings. I've worked on Yale New Haven Hospital's inpatient psychiatric unit, served on Stamford Hospital's psychiatric consult-liaison team working with patients in emergency and medical settings, and provided outpatient psychiatric care through medication management and therapy. This broad experience means I understand mental health challenges across the full spectrum—from acute crises to ongoing outpatient support. I take a comprehensive approach to psychiatric care, recognizing that you are a whole person, not just a diagnosis. Whether you're struggling with depression, anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), bipolar condition, or other mental health conditions, I work collaboratively with you to develop a treatment plan that aligns with your values and goals. My approach combines evidence-based medication management with therapeutic support, ensuring you receive both the medical expertise and emotional understanding you deserve. I'm committed to supporting you through every stage of your mental health journey, meeting you exactly where you are with compassion and clinical excellence.

Are you looking to increase your performance, either in sports, business, or personally? Are issues with substances, anxiety, or past trauma holding you back, or do you simply want to find ways to build on the successes that you already have? My goal is to work with you in a direct way to address your needs head-on and find solutions. I have over a decade working in residential substance use and mental health treatment, and have spent the past 6 years working primarily in professional sports. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida and a Certified Mental Performance Consultant with the NBA, NHL, and Major League Baseball. I offer one-on-one counseling, individual, team, and business assessments, along with remote counseling.

My ideal clients are individuals, couples, or group members who feel stuck in painful cycles of disconnection, secrecy, or out-of-control sexual behaviors. If you’ve found yourself struggling with relational intimacy, wrestling with guilt and shame, or trying to repair the damage in your relationship, I want you to know that you don’t have to navigate this alone. I specialize in helping people who feel overwhelmed by these challenges find clarity, healing, and a path forward, whether from compulsive sexual behaviors or being the victim of infidelity. My approach is compassionate, direct, and collaborative. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, I take the time to listen to your story, understand the patterns that have shaped your struggles, and work with you to create practical steps toward healing and growth. I also work directly with those who have been impacted by infidelity, supporting both the injured partner and the relationship as a whole. Together, we’ll uncover not just the behaviors, but the deeper emotional needs and relational patterns underneath them. With individuals, I help identify triggers, build healthier coping strategies, and strengthen your capacity for connection. With couples, I create a safe space where both partners can express their hurt, their hopes, and begin to rebuild trust—step by step. And in groups, I facilitate an environment where you can learn from others who are on a similar journey, offering both accountability and encouragement. I draw from proven therapeutic methods as well as my years of experience working with intimacy challenges, compulsive sexual behaviors, and relational struggles. My goal is not just to stop a behavior, but to help you move toward deeper intimacy, healthier relationships, and a stronger sense of self. If you’re ready to take the first step, I’m here to walk alongside you—not with judgment, but with understanding, respect, and the tools to help you heal.

As an interactive, solution-focused therapist, my treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients address current life challenges and long-standing issues. With compassion and understanding, I help individuals find resolution to a wide range of personal concerns and psychological issues. With an integration of complimentary approaches, I draw from a variety of methodologies and techniques, including life coaching, to incorporate what is most helpful for each individual. In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my clients individual needs to help them attain the personal growth they're striving for. Together with each client, I work to develop strengths, restore peace, and achieve life goals. People often ask me, "Why did you get into counseling?" The answer is simple. Growing up, I was often the person among my friends and family whom people would share their secrets and talk about their problems. I was always fascinated by hearing how people felt about what was going on in their lives. And at the end of our talks, people would frequently say to me, "Wow, I feel so much better after talking to you. Thank you so much." I eventually came to realize that I had a gift of listening effectively to other people and offering support. I did this by listening intently to what the person was saying, trying to put myself in their shoes, and asking myself, "What would be most helpful for this person right now?" and responding accordingly. Fortunately, I was able to turn this gift into a successful career. I received my bachelor's degree from Pennsylvania State University and my Masters degree in counseling from Clemson University. I then got licensed as a mental health counselor in the state of Florida (LMHC) and later earned a National Certified Counselor designation (NCC). Then in the spring of 2020, I achieved the Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional certificate (CCATP) to further assist those struggling with anxiety & panic. During my career, I have been fortunate to work for both for-profit companies as well as non-profit organizations in mental health and other industries. Because of this diversified background, I offer a unique perspective of the "business world" which many of my clients find helpful. I would be honored to work with you and assist you with your life challenges. As with all of my clients, I would strive to help you feel empowered, to improve your life, and to help you find peace. I invite you to stop struggling and start enjoying what life has to offer again. It is my sincere hope that you will find the same peace that many before you have found. "Restoring peace of mind ~ one person at a time."��
