About Desiree Frielingsdorf

Growth often means leaning into discomfort, but you don’t have to do it alone. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, or big life transitions, Desiree wants to help you feel seen, heard, and empowered. You may be hoping for clarity, emotional relief, or a stronger sense of self. Desiree’s goal is to help you feel more grounded, self-aware, and equipped to move through life’s challenges with resilience and confidence. You bring the expertise on your life; she brings tools, curiosity, and support to help you uncover new ways of thinking, coping, and connecting.

Desiree’s style is warm, friendly, and authentic. She shows up as herself and believes therapy should feel like a real conversation, not an interrogation. She’ll often draw from CBT, ACT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing to meet her clients’ unique needs. At the core, though, Desiree is rooted in the belief that a strong therapeutic alliance is the key to healing and growth.

Desiree’s hope is to offer a space where you can explore your experiences with honesty, safety, care, and a touch of humor to lighten the load. Therapy with her isn’t about fixing you, it’s about walking with you, making sense of the mess, and finding ways to feel more like you again. Please feel invited to reach out for a consult!
