I believe that everyone has a unique light within that guides them and is the key to your unique gift to this world. Too often we confuse life’s complicated, negative events and our reactions to them as a sign of our value and self-worth, instead of as waves in an otherwise calm ocean. I am passionate about helping my clients return to the light that exists within themselves, and to spread it to those around them.
My name is Dora and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Massachusetts. I have been practicing as a clinician since 2011 and licensed since 2015. I have experience working in a variety of settings, including hospitals, outpatient mental health clinics, residential programs, crisis settings and emergency rooms, and within my own private practice in Boston. Additionally, I am a certified yoga instructor (200 RYT) and have observed the power of mindfulness and movement transform people’s lives; I am happy to bring this work into our sessions if you are interested.
I specialize in working with adults aged 18-65 both with chronic mental illness, and those that are experiencing difficulty adjusting to a change in their life, or hoping to improve in certain areas although they may be overall happy. I am most experienced in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and those that are moving through life adjustments. I use a blend of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), mindfulness, existential therapy, and solution-focused therapy in order to help us address both the larger underlying events that may have influenced problem areas in your life, as well as help solve day to day struggles. In my virtual office, you can expect a warm and engaged atmosphere, yet one where we will track progress on your goals to ensure that you are getting the care you desire.
I look forward to working with you and admire your courage in seeking guidance here at BetterHelp.
