She lets me go at my own pace and for that I am appreciative. She definitely listens to understand and not respond.

It’s already stigmatized to get assistance from a mental health professional. My vulnerabilities were taken advantage of during both sessions. I had scheduled two sessions with her. She decided to not charge for the second session when I explained how I felt about her taking advantage of my vulnerabilities by being bias, and allowing it to interfere, and intercept our sessions as this possibly relate to conflict of interest where she may have more of a financial interest vs client interest. I gave her an amble amount of time to be forthcoming about whether it would be challenges to assist me. Instead, she further gaslit me. If you’re seeking therapy or dealing with any political harassment; this might not be the psychologist/psychotherapist to book.

The Zocdoc app was incredibly easy to use, my Doctor was absolutely great! Listened to everything I had to say, continued to ask questions to actually understand me, honestly it was a much better experience then going to a doctor in alternate ways!

Yes.

I came to Dr. Dorothy for a second opinion because I didn’t feel comfortable with the treatment plan I was given by another psychiatrist. She listened to me, heard my concerns, and I felt far more comfortable with the treatment plan going forward.

First appointment went well!

During my recent meeting with Dr. Dorothy, I had a great and helpful experience. She attentively listened to my concerns and started my treatment plan to help me regain control of my life. I was pleased to receive my medication on the same day and schedule an upcoming bloodwork to monitor my progress. It was evident to me that Dr. Dorothy cares about not only treating my symptoms but also ensuring that my body and mind are in balance.
