Angie Dockins, M.Ed, LPC

Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

 Welcome!

 I’m Angie Dockins, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with nearly 20 years of experience in the field of community mental health. I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and heal from past traumas in a compassionate and supportive environment. 

Just a little bit about me is that some of my own self care includes singing, hiking, walking my pups, strength training and TRAVELING! I can’t deliver on an empty cup, so these things help keep me whole! I am also a mom, so understand that “mommin is hard” and trying to balance it all can be even harder.

 **Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Missouri Certified**

 **Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)**

**Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Certified**

These approaches enable me to work effectively with clients who struggle with managing emotions, negative thoughts, and behaviors that interfere with their quality of life. Whether you're dealing with trauma, anxiety, or life transitions, my goal is to provide you with the tools and support you need to achieve lasting change.
