I’ve been working with Dorothy for a long time now and knowing I have someone who understands me and has helped me through some really challenging phases of my life is very comforting. When I have a bad week or something throws me for a loop a thought that helps get me through is that I’ll be able to tackle the issue in therapy and with someone who I think truly understands where I’m coming from. I feel like I’ve grown a lot since starting and the tips I’ve received over the years have really helped shape me for the better. I’m very thankful for this counseling relationship, and it’s allowed me to improve in areas where I’ve previously been struggling.
