I have been through several severe traumas, experience panic attacks and severe anxiety. I have been to many therapists. Dorothy is BY FAR THE BEST!!!!!! I will never go to anyone else. She’s supportive, clear, firm but kind, listens, empathizes, forces me to do introspection, she’s amazing! Changing my life by helping me enforce my boundaries and stop enabling people in my life to take advantage of me.

Dorothy is wonderful! She makes you feel comfortable while you’re talking. I have cried my eyes out and not felt judged. There’s no awkward silence, if I’m not talking she is. She is fully focused on you during the session.
