“I have gained a great deal by working with Dorlee. She empowered me to create boundaries, be able to say no, to truly value myself and my work, and to be accountable for how I show up in the world. She was patient, yet firm, and the sessions, especially the EMDR, allowed me to transcend barriers that I couldn’t have imagined overcoming before. I can’t say enough good things about Dorlee – very grateful for the experience with a genuine, kind, brilliant psychotherapist.”

“Dorlee is amazing! She is very thoughtful and makes me feel heard during my sessions with her. I started meeting with her last fall and she has helped me get through some very difficult moments in my life – loss in the family, career transition, relationship issues, etc. She’s helped me change my mindset and given me lifelong tools to manage stress and anxiety.”

“I am so grateful to have found Dorlee. She is kind, patient, knowledgeable and truly cares about helping you succeed. I have noticed deep changes and growth working with her and cannot recommend her enough for anyone struggling with anxiety, depression or relationship issues.”

“Dorlee has been a tremendous help in my personal and professional life. She’s created a container for me to process and learn more about myself during major transitions and she always shows up to meet me in the place I need to be to do work and make progress.”

“Dorlee was a wonderful therapist, who was empathetic, remembered my history, references and names, and a patient listener. I felt heard and valued and received great advice that helped me process what I wanted to achieve. It was a positive experience that has lasted beyond the sessions.”
CM, 31
“Dorlee has been a huge help to me over the past 3 years. She is patient, non-judgemental, and honest. She is very good at helping process trauma, at your own pace, in a safe manner. She is great at both offering practical advice, or listening to you vent after a rough week. We’ve been meeting remotely for over a year now, and I’ve found her methods to be just as effective as in-person. Highly recommend!”
ZM, 30
“Dorlee is an excellent therapist. I immediately felt at ease working with her and never felt judged. She is very knowledgeable, kind, empathetic and trustworthy. She listened attentively, provided helpful feedback and concrete considerations for me to apply during a tough period of postpartum depression, and helped me gain better insight into myself, my feelings and my experiences. We did some EMDR and psychoanalytically-informed exploration and I started experiencing change and significant symptom relief throughout our work together. I highly recommend working with Dorlee!”
