She is welcoming and easy to talk to. I don’t really confide in people much but Mrs. Taylor makes you feel like you can vent without being judged. She’s funny and she keeps it real. This is my first time experiencing therapy and so far it has been good. I Would recommend Mrs. Taylor to anyone looking for a therapist that will listen and tell you what you need to hear about yourself with no sugar coating. 10/10

More about Dorothy

- LCSW
As a licensed therapist, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on empowering clients to navigate challenges related to depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. With expertise in women's issues, multicultural concerns, and young adult experiences, I offer a compassionate, culturally responsive approach.
My therapeutic work focuses on helping clients develop self-love, improve communication, address social anxiety, and heal from life transitions. I'm particularly passionate about supporting individuals through experiences of isolation, identity exploration, and personal transformation. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their unique stories and build meaningful strategies for emotional wellness.
I understand that each person's journey is deeply personal, and I'm committed to providing affirming, individualized care that honors your lived experiences and supports your path toward healing and self-discovery.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Be it's just for a couple sessions, I'm so thankful for Dorothy. She's kind and relatable and I'm lucky to have been matched with her
Dorothy is a formidable therapist. She really listens and her advice that she offers is monumental. I enjoy speaking with her and I would recommend her for anyone.
I really appreciate how she holds me accountable for my own actions!
Dorothy has been encouraging, helpful and supportive throughout my sessions. She says what needs to be said, and challenges me in the best of ways! She is an amazing woman full of wisdom and knowledge and I have really enjoyed working with her.
Dorothy listens well and as a result, she provides sound strategy for progress. Dorothy is honest and will hold you accountable for your actions. For me, this is highly effective. I value honesty- NOT hand holding. She’s supportive, kind and smart! I have really enjoyed working with her.
I can't express how grateful I am to have found my therapist. It took me a long time to find someone like her, and from our very first session, I felt an immediate connection. She is incredibly capable and has already shown me that she can help me work through my tough issues. I appreciate how she provided worksheets during our appointment, as I really need that structure in my journey. What stood out the most was how comfortable and safe I felt talking to her—something I don’t often experience with others. Her thoughtful questions and willingness to share her own stories made our conversation feel genuine and supportive. I finally feel at ease knowing I have someone like her in my corner. Highly recommend!
Dorthy was engaging and instantly put me at ease. I felt very comfortable speaking with her and felt heard.
