Dorothy Burge

Dorothy Burge, LPC, works with adults of all ages who feel anxious, overwhelmed, burned out, disconnected, or stuck in patterns they want to understand and change. Many of her clients are thoughtful and self-aware, but insight alone has not been enough to shift self-doubt, shame, people-pleasing, panic, grief, trauma responses, or difficulty trusting themselves. With 30+ years of experience, Dorothy offers a steady, compassionate space for deeper healing, practical tools, nervous system regulation, and lasting emotional change.

Dorothy integrates CBT, EMDR when appropriate, somatic work, mindfulness, and IFS-informed parts work. Therapy helps clients build coping skills while gently exploring protective patterns, nervous system responses, and earlier experiences that shape anxiety, self-doubt, relationships, and emotional regulation.

Dorothy brings a seasoned, trauma-informed, whole-person perspective to therapy, honoring the connection between mind, body, relationships, and life history. With training in Ayurveda, functional medicine health coaching, and international teaching, she helps clients feel more regulated, self-compassionate, confident, and steady within themselves.
