You Deserve to Feel Better—Let’s Take The First Step Together

Life doesn’t always go as planned. Some days, it feels like you’re carrying a weight too heavy to bear. Maybe it’s anxiety that won’t let you rest, grief that lingers, or the echoes of past trauma. Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to go through it alone.

Meet Your Therapist, Chris Dorsey

I’ve been where you are. Years ago, I sat in the same chair, wondering if therapy could actually help me. I thought I had to handle things on my own. But when I finally reached out for support, everything shifted. Therapy wasn’t just about advice—it was about being truly heard for the first time. That experience shaped the way I work with my clients today.

At Dignity Counseling, I create a space where you can talk freely, process your emotions, and uncover the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. My approach integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Dignity Therapy, helping you connect with different parts of yourself—the ones protecting you, the ones carrying hurt, and the ones ready for healing.

Therapy isn’t about forcing solutions. It’s about finding the answers that already live within you.

How Therapy Can Help You

Life’s challenges don’t come with a step-by-step guide. Your experiences are personal, and your healing process should be, too.

Trauma, Anxiety, and Depression Counseling

Emotional struggles can leave you feeling stuck and exhausted. Whether you’re battling racing thoughts, fear, or deep sadness, therapy can provide a space to process and regain control.

Grief and Loss Counseling

Grief isn’t just about losing a person—it can be the loss of a relationship, identity, or a sense of stability. Dignity Therapy allows us to honor your loss while making space for healing and renewal.

Chronic and Terminal Illness Counseling

A serious diagnosis can bring uncertainty, fear, and emotional weight. Therapy provides support in processing these challenges and finding meaning, comfort, and strength in the face of this challenge..

Narcissistic Abuse Counseling

Recovering from a toxic relationship is overwhelming. You may question your own reality, self-worth, or ability to trust again. Therapy offers a safe space to rebuild confidence, set boundaries, and rediscover your sense of self.

LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy

You deserve a therapist who sees you, values you, and supports your journey. Whether you’re exploring identity, relationships, or emotional well-being, this is a space where you can feel safe being yourself.

Aging, Life Transitions, & Stress Management

Change—whether expected or sudden—can shake your sense of stability. Together, we’ll work on creating clarity and confidence so you can step into the next chapter of your life with less fear and more control.

What You Can Expect When You Start Therapy

Reaching out for therapy feels like a big step. But I promise, it’s just a conversation. Here’s how we’ll begin:

Schedule a Free 15-Minute Consultation – A no-pressure call to talk about what’s on your mind and see if we’re a good fit.
Your First Session – A relaxed, open conversation where you can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable.
Moving Forward – Healing happens one step at a time. We’ll move at your pace, exploring what feels right for you with a schedule that works for your life.

“Chris made therapy feel different—like talking to someone who really gets it. I finally feel like I have control over my anxiety.”

“After struggling with grief for years, I finally feel lighter. Therapy with Chris gave me the space to process my emotions without judgment.”

Healing starts with giving yourself permission to be supported.
