Angie Dockins, M.Ed, Licensed Professional Counselor (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)**
