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!
