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.

As a licensed psychologist, I recognize that life and relationships can prove to be challenging. I appreciate the courage it takes for one to share personal concerns and strive for life change, therefore I aim to provide a safe and respectful therapeutic environment. I strongly believe in the power of therapy as a means of improving the quality of one's life. My specialties include: marriage and couples therapy. I help clients learn how to manage and reduce symptoms to help lead a healthy and productive lifestyle.

I am accepting new clients. I am practicing in Pennsylvania and Florida by teletherapy. We have the right to experience all the joys life offers. Depression, anxiety, and relationship problems make that difficult. I offer therapy for men, women. I will discuss your physical health, thought processes, family situation, emotional well-being, social context, and ways of coping. Every person has abilities, interests and gifts. And everyone has the capacity to develop into a more fulfilled and happier person. Together we will create goals for you to overcome obstacles and become your best self. I work with adults using cognitive behavioral theory, psychodynamic therapy, communications theories, solution focused therapy, and family systems theories. I have worked with men and women's issues, such as depression, anxiety, relationship problems, marital problems, financial problems, vocational, parenting and self-esteem issues. In addition to the rest of my practice, I also work with adults experiencing ADHD, life transitions, and postpartum depression.

Are you finding yourself waking up in the morning and wondering how you’re going to get out of bed? As you go through your day, do you feel empty or overwhelmed? Life can be difficult, and we can find ourselves overwhelmed by our stressors and our past. We want to feel safe, but often we feel like we don’t belong, and no one understands what we’re experiencing. At the end of the day, most of us just want someone we can depend on, and a space where we can catch our breath. If you feel this way, reach out to me. Together, we can work on processing your feelings and creating a fun, safe space where you can heal. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 11 years of experience. I have assisted many people who have experienced trauma by using trauma-focused therapies, as well as unconventional practices like superhero therapy. I am also certified as a sex therapist through the Modern Sex Therapy Institutes (MSTI) and the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT). I work with my clients to make sense of their experiences in a nonjudgmental, safe, boundary-setting environment. The therapeutic setting can model healthy relationships, with feedback and humor tailored to each client to help sessions flow well. I am a mother, a wife, a survivor, and like you, I am flawed. Each of us is on a journey of self-growth and discovery, and I would love to be a part of yours.

I believe therapy works best when it feels safe, honest, and collaborative. My approach is warm, direct, and grounded in helping you understand not only what you are struggling with, but why certain patterns keep showing up in your life. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression, addiction, relationship stress, and major life transitions. Many people come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or tired of repeating the same cycles. Together, we slow things down, identify what is happening beneath the surface, and build practical tools for lasting change. My style combines evidence-based therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) informed trauma work, mindfulness, and a person-centered approach. I do not believe therapy is about judgment, blame, or being told what to do. It is about creating space to understand yourself more clearly, process painful experiences, and begin making choices that align with the life you want. I also bring years of experience working in treatment settings, which has shaped my belief that healing is possible even when things feel complicated or deeply rooted. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, trauma, addiction, or relationship concerns, my goal is to help you feel less alone, more grounded, and more capable of moving forward.

In my years of specializing in trauma and abuse, I have found that the most successful individuals often feel the most isolated by their experiences. My philosophy is simple: You should not have to choose between your professional excellence and your personal healing. I believe that a traumatic event—whether it be a single crisis, a history of abuse, or a profound loss—is an extraordinary experience that requires a specialized, clinical response to become "normal." My approach is to meet you at the intersection of your high-functioning life and your most difficult moments. By combining the structure of grief recovery with the depth of hypnotherapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), we create a space where your history can be processed with dignity, discretion, and profound expertise. Healing is the ultimate high-performance act. You are used to being the most capable person in the room, but trauma does not respond to willpower. If a crisis, loss, or history of abuse has begun to compromise your focus and well-being, you need more than just "talk therapy." I provide a sophisticated, clinical approach to help high-achievers normalize and integrate traumatic events. With a Ph.D in Counseling Education and Supervision, I specialize in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), hypnotherapy, and grief loss recovery. My expertise covers the spectrum of trauma—including intimate partner violence (IPV), domestic violence, and abuse—offering a discreet, expert-level space to stabilize your nervous system and reclaim your edge. Let's move past "coping," and get back to operating at your full potential.

I help high-achieving men close the gap between who they are at work and who they want to be at home. Many of the men I work with are successful by every outward measure — respected careers, financial stability, families they love — yet they feel disconnected, anxious, and unsure why their relationships aren't working the way they should. My approach is direct, practical, and built around skill-building — not endless processing. I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, polyvagal science, and 30 years of clinical experience to help men understand what is driving their anxiety, their reactivity, and their emotional distance. Then we build the tools to change it. Sessions feel less like traditional therapy and more like focused training. Men leave with something concrete — a script, a strategy, a reset tool they can use that same day. I work with men navigating anxiety, relationship tension, parenting struggles, and the quiet weight of feeling invisible in their own families. Telehealth available throughout Florida. You do not have to keep managing this alone. There is a better way forward.

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.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that are difficult to change, or simply unsure of how to move forward. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, a major life transition, or another difficult period, therapy can provide a space to better understand what you are experiencing and develop meaningful ways of responding to it. I approach therapy as a collaborative process. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and comfortable exploring difficult thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Together, we will work to understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop practical strategies for navigating challenges, and identify changes that are consistent with what matters most to you. My approach is evidence-based and individualized, drawing primarily from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I do not believe therapy should feel like a one-size-fits-all formula. I tailor our work to your needs, experiences, strengths, and goals, while approaching the therapeutic relationship with warmth, compassion, curiosity, and respect. Ultimately, I believe we all have the capacity for growth and change throughout our lives. Therapy can help strengthen your sense of agency, deepen your understanding of yourself, and move you toward a life that feels more meaningful and fulfilling.

My approach to healing is grounded in the belief that our symptoms, patterns, and struggles often make sense when we understand the experiences that shaped us. Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety, self-doubt, relationship challenges, or the lingering impact of trauma. Together, we explore how past experiences may still be influencing your present life and work toward creating new possibilities for how you relate to yourself and others. I draw primarily from EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), two approaches that help us access and process experiences that may be difficult to reach through traditional talk therapy alone. These methods allow us to gently understand the different “parts” of ourselves that developed in response to life experiences and to process unresolved memories that may still hold emotional charge. At the heart of my work is a collaborative relationship. I see therapy as something we do together, at a pace that feels safe and respectful of your nervous system and your story. My role is to hold a space that is curious, compassionate, and non-judgmental while supporting you in building insight, emotional language, and practical tools for daily life. Healing is rarely linear. It is often a process of returning to ourselves, learning to listen to the parts of us that needed care for a long time, and gradually rewriting the narrative we carry about who we are and what is possible for our future.

You may look like you’re functioning just fine from the outside while internally feeling overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, or disconnected from yourself. Maybe you’re constantly overthinking, second-guessing yourself, taking care of everyone else, or wondering when you’ll finally feel like “you” again. Therapy can feel intimidating, and allowing yourself to be vulnerable takes courage. My goal is to create a warm, compassionate space where you can take off the everyday mask, stop feeling like you have to hold everything together, and simply be honest about what you’re carrying. I work with young adults and adults, with a particular passion for supporting women navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, motherhood and postpartum changes, trauma, grief, emotional abuse, perfectionism, people-pleasing, identity shifts, and major life transitions. Together, we can explore the patterns and experiences that have shaped you, understand what is keeping you stuck, and begin developing healthier ways of relating to yourself and the world around you. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to who you are, rather than forcing you into a one-size-fits-all version of therapy. I integrate approaches including mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you better understand your thoughts and emotions, develop practical coping skills, reconnect with your values, and create meaningful change. Ultimately, my goal is to help you feel deeply heard and understood, while giving you the space and tools to rediscover yourself. Therapy isn’t only for when everything is falling apart. Sometimes it’s where you finally get to put down what you’ve been carrying, heal old patterns, reconnect with your needs, and build a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and fulfilling. You don’t have to figure all of this out alone. I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you move from simply getting through life to feeling more confident, connected, and at home in yourself, from burnt out to burning bright.
