My name is Dora Hudson, my pronouns are She/Her/I and I have over 13 years of school and community counseling experience in Michigan schools and community agencies working with teens.

Dora is an excellent listener, as well as she was very easy to connect with and open up too right from the beginning. She was honest in her approach and advice even when it was a bit of tough love, which I greatly appreciated and helped build a lot of trust for me throughout the sessions. Each meeting has left me feeling stronger and more enthusiastic to put in the work to better myself.
