About US
My name is Dorothy Burrell, and I am a dual-certified nurse practitioner with expertise in psychiatry and family medicine. South University awarded me a Master of Science in Nursing with honors and a family medicine specialty. I completed my post-master certificate in psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner at Norwich University. I hold national certification with the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners and the American Nurses Credentialing Center. I am currently licensed to practice in Oregon and Washington.
I am passionate about providing quality, compassionate, and comprehensive mental health services by diagnosing, treating, and prescribing medication to children, adolescents, and adults. My practice specialties (but not limited to) are ADHD, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, eating disorders, bipolar, and insomnia.

Types of Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps individuals change negative thought patterns and behaviors, improving emotional regulation and coping strategies, making it effective for anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges.

Culturally Sensitive
Culturally sensitive practices acknowledge and respect diverse cultural backgrounds, tailoring approaches to individual needs. This promotes inclusivity and enhances communication, ultimately improving relationships and outcomes in various settings, including healthcare and education.

Person-Centered
Person-centered therapy prioritizes the individual's unique experiences and needs, fostering a supportive environment for self-exploration and growth. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and respect, promoting personal empowerment and well-being.

Solution Focused Brief
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) emphasizes finding solutions and setting goals rather than exploring problems. It encourages clients to envision a desired future, leveraging strengths and resources for quick, effective change.
