Dr Dorian Kondas

I provide relationship-focused therapy with body-mind holism based on the best of theory, science and simple human connection. The best research tells us that it is the therapy relationship that heals! To say it more technically, our relationship (meeting you as a unique, distinctly different individual at many intersections of culture, attachment style, racial/ethnic differences, identity, sexuality or gender, personal history, family of origin background, age, life-stage, career development and so on) becomes the basis for helping you heal relationship ruptures of the past and the present--and your relationship WITH YOURSELF. Abuse, trauma, neglect, violence, abandonment, and shame-- all of these are relationship-based injuries. Consequently, I will prioritize building trust, safety, warmth, genuine connection and "gentle mending." It's as if you have a flashlight in the darkness and I must follow you very closely and faithfully, really being PRESENT, and always going at your own pace, not mine, wherever you choose to shine the light.
