Dori Gay
Dori Corrado Gay is a licensed Family and Marriage therapist. While she has been trained in family and couples relationship issues, during her 15 years as a therapist she has helped patients with issues like depression, anxiety and PTSD. She founded and owned a facility for women in recovery from drugs and alcohol so she knows how to help patients suffering from substance abuse disorder as well as their families who are impacted by addiction. While each patient has different needs, she believes that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is effective with most mood disorders. Treating the underlying thoughts which cause the symptoms produces long term success. For couples counseling she emphasizes Solution Focused Therapy. Couples need help at the first session and she makes sure there are concrete homework assignments that will help the immediate needs of the couple.
