Dorina is very gifted at what she does. She’s an amazing listener and has helped me break some of my recurring thinking patterns that were keeping me stagnant. We get to the root during our conversations. She remembers everything, she is so kind and helpful. I am very thankful for all that she has done. I’m also so impressed how Better Help matched us. I couldn’t ask for a better therapist who really gets me.
