Dori helped me save myself from a narcissistic marriage. I’m grateful for her insight when I was experiencing it and it helped me leave my ex wife. Some of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made but also the most rewarding.

Dori was such a help to me, just when I needed her. She listened compassionately, respond clearly and honestly, and helped me to articulate and address issues I'd been neglecting and denying for many years. I'm forever grateful for her assistance.

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.
