She incorporates psychotropic medications, herbal and nutrient supplements, breathing techniques, and other holistic practices into her care. Her approach is respectful, open-hearted, and nurturing, creating an environment where patients feel safe, supported, and heard.

Doreen also integrates therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Somatic Therapies.
