Meet Dorinda Rogers Madera, Licensed Mental Health Counselor

Hey! Welcome! I am so glad you are here with me to experience Seeds of Empowerment Mental Health Counseling! It is the real life culmination of my efforts in turning my experiences and education into a way to create and be a part of the change I believe is so needed in this world we share together.

 My mission is to promote wellness through a culturally attuned lens and plant the seeds for inspiration and self-empowerment so that individuals, couples, families and communities can be uplifted. For every one individual who engages in therapy, many others in their life are also forever changed by the positive vibrations!

 I believe in providing treatment that is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and fun! I utilize an eclectic, person-centered approach to therapy, tailoring my treatment methods to meet the needs of each unique client. I am passionate about creating a safe and supportive space for us to explore, understand, and reconcile any pain, worry or disturbances within you.

 As my client, you may be an individual who already has some insight into what makes you tick, or you may be at the very beginning of figuring it out — but no matter where you are in your journey, you have all intentions of being an active participant in learning and implementing the skills and patterns that can change your life.

 My goal in our time together is to help you identify and build on your strengths and create a plan with the tools you need to help you to start living your best life!
