Hello, I am Dorothy Brass. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides therapeutic counseling services. I have a career in social work that has expanded over 30 years in practicing therapy, case management, and assessment services with all ages.

I have a career in social work that has expanded over 30 years in practicing therapy, case management, and assessment services with all ages.

I have held positions in Hospice, Youth Services, Social Services, Medical, Geriatric Services, and School Social Work. I hold a Bachelor of Social Work from Norfolk State University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Iowa.

First session

My counseling style is collaborative, honest, and interactive. My therapeutic approach is integrated and unique to each client. I use a mixture of Solution-Focused and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Strengths

I offer a safe, non-judgmental, and welcoming environment while being compassionate and respectful of your thoughts and feelings. I will support you wherever you are in your life’s journey.

Ideal clients

My experiences have addressed various concerns, including depression, anxiety, behavioral challenges, grief, and loss. I have also assisted individuals with relationship difficulties, family interaction, parenting issues, and everyday life challenges.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

My primary treatment method focuses on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. CBT recognizes how one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. It assists with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and life stressors.

Solution-Focused Brief Treatment

SFBT is a goal-oriented approach to therapy. We will explore your present and future circumstances along with your goals. I will support you in developing solutions that are more effective. SFBT can help with low self-esteem, anxiety, and transitions in life.

Psychoanalytic

We will focus on talk therapy, which helps people understand how their unconscious thoughts and feelings influence their behavior and relationships.
