About
Hello! I’m Diana “Dee” O. Verschoor
I am glad you are here. I opened Resilient Willow Healing to support folks who are struggling, who need someone to listen, who are ready to work through something difficult, or who want to explore their identity or another area of life.
I have a few areas of focus as a counselor. Along with my education, training, and credentials shared below, I have personal and lived experience in my areas of focus. I understand how important it is to have support.
My past professional experience has included coaching, grassroots nonprofit work, and education work. Most recently, I worked as a specialist focused on mental health and education in earth science at the national level. I left academia and am now focused on counseling full time.
All along the way I have been an artist and a farmer— whether or not in any official capacity. I have also done a lot of volunteering and apprenticing to support grief and the end-of-life. My experiences have taken me outside the US to many places, and I continue to grow international connections and relationships. This is blessing and a privilege.
I spend my free time connecting with the people, plants, and animals in my life, practicing archery, doing absolutely nothing, or watching a good show. I value connection and authenticity, and feel that I always have more to learn.
