About me

Hello, my name is Dori Choy and am a licensed clinical social worker. I have been in the social work field for 20 years, have been a therapist for the past 12 years. My approach is realistic, strengths based and confidence building. I believe that there is value in every life and that hope can be found in any situation. My preference is to work alongside my clients, allowing them to explore their own thoughts and feelings week to week. Feeling heard, supported and understood is the foundation needed to build healthy habits and work through difficult seasons in life.

Dori makes me feel relaxed and comfortable, something I didn't get from the first 3 therapists I tried here. She is laid back but also very competent. She is able to schedule appointments outside her normal schedule to accommodate me. I also feel like she has personal experience with some of the difficulties I'm having; I think she is a great fit for me.

Dori is great at hearing me and providing perspective. She explains things very well and helps me understand when I don't comprehend terminology. She also has many wonderful examples and homework, but never pushes me to do it and reminds me it's ok if I don't get to it. She is very understanding and u really appreciate her!
