Why choose us?
One mom’s story…
When I first found Dove Counseling, my family was struggling, and honestly, I felt like I was failing as a parent. We were dealing with tantrums, hitting, big emotions, and situations I simply didn’t know how to navigate. I felt overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsure of what to do next.
Finding Dove Counseling changed our lives.
For nearly four years, this practice has been there for our family through some of our hardest moments. They have helped heal and strengthen our family dynamics while teaching us how to communicate, understand one another, and create a home where feelings are safe to express.
They have taught my children that it’s okay to have big feelings and, just as importantly, how to talk about those feelings with honesty, compassion, and an open mind. They have also taught me how to be a more confident, patient, and intentional parent. The guidance they have given me over the years has been truly priceless.
They have supported us through divorce, co-parenting, adjusting between two homes, and the countless everyday challenges that come with raising children. They have been there not only for my kids, but for me as I learned how to navigate these changes alongside them.
What makes Dove Counseling so special is that they don’t just treat a problem—they help families understand, grow, heal, and build something stronger.
I genuinely cannot imagine where my children and I would be without their support. The impact they have had on our family goes far beyond counseling. They have helped give my children a voice, helped me find confidence as a mother, and helped our family become more connected.
Four years later, I still feel incredibly grateful that we found them. I never want to stop working with this practice because they have become such an important part of our family’s journey.
My gratitude for what Dove Counseling has done for my children and me is truly indescribable. They have changed our lives, and I will always be thankful for them.

The Meaning Behind Dove Counseling Services
Dove Counseling Services was named in honor of my best friend, Dovee, who tragically passed away at the age of 13 in a car accident on Thanksgiving.
Dovee was truly one of a kind. She had a rare gift — she was friends with everyone. She made people feel seen, welcomed, and valued. Her kindness wasn’t loud or showy; it was natural, genuine, and deeply felt.
Her special way of spreading joy was simple yet powerful: she made people feel good about themselves.
Dove Counseling Services carries her spirit forward. Our mission is rooted in that same warmth, inclusivity, and compassion — creating a space where every person feels accepted, supported, and understood.
In every session, we strive to reflect Dovee’s legacy:
To welcome everyone.
To lead with kindness.
To help people reconnect with their worth.
To create a safe place where healing and hope can grow.
