“Dora is articulate while being humorous (if appropriate) in her interpretation of what we discuss. When she explains something, it makes sense rather than me ping-ponging from one thought to the next. Grateful that she is my therapist!”

Getting to know Dora Smith
Hello, I'm Dora Smith from Virginia. I hold a Licensed Professional Counselor license in the states of Virginia and South Carolina. I am a former teacher who worked within both regular and special education environments. I received my Bachelor's degree from The University of Alabama and my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, Kentucky. I work with individuals, couples, and adolescents to improve relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, postpartum issues, grief, life transitions, ADHD, PTSD, and addictions. I believe everyone can overcome their struggles with support and genuine effort. I know each person is unique, and I desire to help you improve YOUR life YOUR way.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
