Hello and thank you for being here! My name is Dorota, but I go by Dorothy. I am a wife, mom of 2 beautiful little girls and one furry, four-legged girl, and trauma therapist. I obtained my MSW in 2020 and LCSW in 2025 and have worked with all folks of all ages. My speciality is trauma, but anyone who is going through some challenges, life transitions, or just hard times right now can reach out to see if I would be a good fit.
I am warm, open minded, non judgmental and just here to make sure you feel safe and comfortable. It really is about the connection with your therapist that matters and hopefully I can be a good match and support to you.
During our first session, we will take some time to get to know each other to make sure we are a good fit. I will ask questions about what brought you to therapy and what you hope to accomplish or work on during our time together. We will also go over expectations for therapy as I love to be as transparent as possible.

I primarily used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice around trauma. Trauma, particularly childhood trauma that has been buried and unprocessed, tends to linger and come up when we least expect it. During treatment, we will examine how trauma is impacting you today and explore ways to process the trauma, but help with current challenges.
