From our very first interactions, I collaborate with my clients to address their challenges so that they can bring greater joy, peace, and acceptance into their lives. So often, our difficulties stem from unhealthy, long-standing patterns that weave through development and influence how we see ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. I help my clients to deepen their understanding of these difficulties and to utilize their inherent strengths - so that they can more effectively reach their goals. This work relies on creating a therapeutic relationship that feels safe, warm, accepting, and affirming.
Originally a researcher in developmental psychology, I went back to school to become a clinical psychologist so that I could work with people more directly. I enjoy working with people of all ages and have extensive training as a therapist. I integrate cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and mindfulness techniques in order to most effectively address my clients' needs.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Dorothy Warner. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Dr. Warner is an extremely capable and simultaneously compassionate counselor. She allows me to say what's on my mind and helps guide me to the conclusions rather than just giving me answers, developing ways I can process events rather than just solving the problems for me. She is very professional and provides considerable support without any judgement.

Dorothy Warner is very professional, warm, and thoughtful. She is an excellent listener and is very sharp, needing little explanation to understand the issues at hand in a clear manner. She is kind and attentive, and responds with insights that are spot on and full of care.

I have spent a good majority of my life with different counselors and none of them have compared to Dorothy. She really listens to what I'm saying and makes sure to go back to noteworthy things even if I've just rambled for 5 minutes. In just our three sessions she has already laid out a plan to help me get through a fear I have had my whole life that nobody has seemed to be able to help me with. She makes you feel heard and she gives direction and insight in a way that really resonates. I am extremely grateful for her and her expertise and guidance and I am hopeful for lots of progress in the future with her help.
