Dory Dzinski is a Connecticut state licensed professional counselor (LPC). Her passion is working together with individuals or couples to help enhance their lives by working through various types of challenges and making room for a lighter, more enjoyable life. There is a very strong focus on increased self awareness and more proficient communication skills, as well as ownership of the process of change.
Dory is fluent in many therapeutic languages, from strongly clinical to spiritually based (not religion unless desired), depending on the interest of the client. Spirituality is an area that is often neglected in counseling and psychotherapy. While it may not be the desire of every client, Dory provides the opportunity to bring spirituality into the sessions of those who find it meaningful and helpful on their life path. **Discussion of spirituality is only brought into session at the request of the client. Spirituality is not religion, although some individuals may express and experience their spirituality through religion. As we emerge and evolve, it is increasingly important to nurture our personalized and individualized spiritual selves.
Areas that she is particularly effective with are as follows:
- Bereavement, Grief and Loss of all kinds
- Separation and Divorce
- Life Transitions
- Codependence
- Forgiveness
- Enhanced Communication Skills
- Emerging Spirituality
- Self Esteem
- Loss of Self
- Anger and Frustration
- Dark Nights of the Soul
- Trauma
- Psychospiritual Causation of Illness
- Spiritual Emergence and Awarenes
