Getting to know Dorothea Ware

Dori Ware, LCSW, helps adults across California build resilience, improve emotional well-being, and navigate life challenges with greater clarity and confidence. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at LifeStance Health, she provides individualized therapy for adults and seniors experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, and trauma. Dori creates a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where patients feel heard and empowered to explore their experiences, develop insight, and work toward meaningful, lasting change. She partners with individuals to identify strengths and practical coping strategies while addressing complex concerns such as mood disorders, stress, and life transitions. She has experience supporting diverse populations, including first responders, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and military service members and veterans, and she offers additional support across a range of behavioral health needs. Using evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dori helps patients process past experiences, regulate emotions, and build effective tools for daily life. Dori believes therapy is a collaborative journey in which individuals are the experts of their own lives. Her goal is to help patients recognize their inner strengths and move toward personal growth and healing at their own pace. She values creating a space where acceptance, compassion, and accountability work together to support progress. Outside of her clinical work, Dori enjoys lending a helping hand, spending quality time with loved ones, reading, and exploring new places and restaurants.
