Getting to know Frances Wendy Dorsey

First, I want to acknowledge your effort to seek help for your challenges. You may be struggling with relationships, depression from a loss, anxiety about your future, memories of a terrible incident in the past, or an abusive childhood. Whatever is standing in the way of your current life and your goals for the future, when you have the courage to work through these seemingly impossible challenges, you will find hope, and your life will improve. I'm here to walk with you on this creative journey—your path to healing and wholeness. As a therapist with a Master’s in Counseling from Loyola University Maryland, along with degrees in Pastoral Counseling and Early Childhood/Special Education, I bring my experience working with people who combat racism and poverty, teaching children and working with families, and accompanying those struggling with recovery or a trauma history.

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.
