Getting to know Dori Gay

Dori Corrado Gay is a licensed Family and Marriage therapist with a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University. While she has been trained in family and couples relationship issues, during her 15 years as a therapist she has helped patients with challenges such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD. She founded and owned a facility for women in recovery from drugs and alcohol, giving her firsthand experience in supporting patients suffering from substance use disorder as well as their families impacted by addiction. Recognizing that each patient has unique needs, she believes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is effective for most mood disorders. By addressing the underlying thoughts that cause symptoms, she aims to produce long-term success. For couples counseling, she emphasizes Solution Focused Therapy. She understands that couples need help from the very first session and ensures there are concrete homework assignments to address their immediate needs.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Dori believes her many years helping people in therapy and in her substance abuse facility has given her the background, understanding and compassion to help her patients. If a patient doesn't feel at ease it makes progress difficult. Her biggest strength is in being able to help couples to strengthen their relationship and improve communication. Her years of work in the substance abuse field has taught her the many complications of addiction. During that time, she has worked with women and men who are depressed, anxious and have a history of trauma.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

During the first session Dori will work with couples and individuals to determine a clear statement of goals to be accomplished in therapy. During that first session we will work on the goals to be accomplished during each week. Sometimes that involves simple homework exercises designed to make behavioral changes to decrease depression and anxiety and improve couple relationships.

    Dori was incredibly helpful to me and would highly recommend her to anyone. She gave smart advice and really helped my husband and me navigate a difficult situation in our family.
    I have been working with different therapists for years, and I am so relieved that I finally found Dori. She is the first therapist who really sees me and always knows how to make me feel better, while working through issues that have been haunting me for years. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders and I’m so grateful to Dori for that!
