DISCUSSION TOPICS
"My goal is to make love simple.
Life is hard. Relationships shouldn’t be."
Drawing on her creative and clinical experience, she combines theoretical rigor with curiosity and instinct.
Prior to becoming a therapist, Randé worked extensively with physical expression as a choreographer, dance teacher, and Pilates instructor. For over 20 years, she helped others find their voice, confidence, and power through dance and movement. Her current focus is the integration of movement and marriage. How to use our bodies to listen and connect to our loved ones with ease and clarity.
Most people are pretty clear about who they are and what they want. People are communicating all the time.
We don’t have a communication problem. We have a listening problem.
We have to listen better. Say more of the right things.
And... say less of everything else.

We might all joke:
" I want a millionaire who is spiritual, but not really religious."
But what does that look like? And will a man like that really be a good partner long term?
Long time thought collaborators and siblings Randé Dorn and Roosevelt Dorn bring a fresh perspective to the conversation of dating and relationship by approaching love through both the secular therapeutic and Biblical counseling lens, with a little sibling rivalry thrown in!
In a world often consumed by the allure of wealth and status, it's easy to overlook the true treasures that lie within our relationships. The first book in our series "Wanted Millionaire Spiritual, But Not Religious" isn't about building fantasy men who will keep you safe from poverty and loneliness with their wealth and colorful beads. It's a true talk guidebook from sibling therapists offering 101 red flags for the wise woman to avoid when dating for a committed relationship.
The red flags within this book are here to steer you away from the pitfalls and warning signs, while shedding light on what is really important when navigating the complexities of modern romance. With poignant stories, practical guidance, and a lot of humor, this book equips readers to discern between genuine connections and superficial shininess.
"This book is for the woman who wants to date, fall in love, and be loved by a good man. This is for the woman who wants a man who is wealthy in the things that truly provide happiness here on earth."

I’m looking for talented and brave thinkers who want to revolutionize therapy by showing up in the room as their outrageously, authentic selves. Clinicians who see therapy as a holistic art practice requiring a commitment to deep questioning and evolutionary self awareness.
As a supervisor, my goal is to support new clinicians as they learn to trust their intuitive, knowing bodies in relationship to their clients and the space they hold with them. The key to becoming a great clinician is presence. It’s not about moving towards perfection or a ridge application of techniques. Our first goal is to learn the language of our own somatic genius and use that foundation to create safety and grounding for our clients to risk and explore the playground of their imagination and the wisdom of their darkness.
We are a feedback loop of self acceptance and love for our clients, but first we must learn to embody them ourselves. That is my mission with any new clinician, remove the blocks of radical self love so we can offer our clients an exquisitely held container so they can meet and be the author of their own healing.
The concentration of my work lives under the banner of personal liberation. Under that heading, I work closely with courageous thinkers (artists, activists, and entrepreneurs), clients who experience oppression due to ethnicity, culture, religion, sexuality, or gender expression, and clients who are learning to navigate lifestyles that confront traditional relational models.
