About
Hello! I’m Diana “Dee” O'Riordan Verschoor
I am glad you are here. I opened Resilient Willow Healing to support folks who are struggling, in need of support, want to explore who they are, or who are motivated to make a change of some kind.
I love being a counselor. It is meaningful to be able to support others. I have personal experience with my own trauma recovery, healing, and personal growth, so I understand how important it is to have good support. You can check out my training and credentials mentioned below.
I worked as a coach before I became a counselor, and I still provide coaching. In the past I've worked in nonprofits, education and academia, climate science, food, and farming. I have also been involved in deathwork. All along the way I have been an artist, and a mover with an interest in somatics and embodiment.
My experiences have taken me outside the US to many places around the world, and I continue to grow international connections and relationships. I approach life with humility and feel that I always have more to learn.
