About Dr. Doug Waldruff
As a licensed therapist and counselor, I support both individuals and couples with a specialized focus on trauma-informed care and emotional regulation. I always approach sessions with empathy and provide a non-judgmental environment. I also have unique and specialized skills in treating narcissistic abuse.
Dr. Doug's Mission
I believe each person already holds within them what they need to heal and grow. My role is to help you access that inner wisdom and strength. I approach therapy with deep respect for your unique journey, embracing diversity and honoring the sacredness of your personal path. Growth happens best in an environment of safety, acceptance, and genuine collaboration, where limiting beliefs can shift and new possibilities can emerge.

Approaches I Use
I integrate evidence-based methods tailored to your specific needs, including hypnotherapy, EMDR for trauma processing, energy psychology, and mindfulness-based techniques. I work with the mind-body connection to accelerate healing and help you move through what's been holding you back. Whether addressing past trauma or current challenges, I use approaches designed to create lasting change in a supportive, non-judgmental space.
Areas of Focus
I specialize in trauma recovery, navigating relationships with narcissistic individuals, and working with couples and families through conflict, communication challenges, and major life transitions. I also support people dealing with depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, DID (Disossicative Identity Disorder), relationship issues, parenting concerns, and the developmental stresses that come with different life stages. Additionally, I help executives and creative professionals—writers, musicians, actors, artists—break through performance blocks and reach their full potential.
