She has been very helpful. I have needed someone to talk to who I can trust, and she has made a difference. I have a much better handle on how to deal with things now. I may talk with her one last time in a few weeks.

- LICSW
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in the state of Massachusetts with over 25 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have over 9 years of experience teaching in the behavioral sciences and advising students. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma and emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm, interactive and listening I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My therapy approach combines cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic counseling. I will work with you to tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here for you. I will support and empower you to help bring about the change that you desire.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Dr. Dottin is wonderful at using my strengths to help address my weaknesses! She meets me where I am. She also checks in when she has not heard from me in a while. I would recommend her to anyone seeking Christian or other counseling services.
She’s the best! I highly recommended
