I'm Darlene Werner, a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's transitions and challenges. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and major life changes.
My approach is grounded in empathy and collaboration. I believe therapy works best when it's tailored to your unique needs and values, including your preference for a non-religious therapeutic space. I'm here to help you build coping skills, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence.
I draw on evidence-based practices to create a supportive environment where you can explore your concerns at your own pace. Whether you're facing a difficult transition, struggling with self-doubt, or working through relationship dynamics, I'm committed to walking alongside you with genuine care and respect.
Starting therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
