MEET DORIN
Pronouns: he/his
Personally Speaking
“I’m confident we can feel more alive, more connected, more engaged with the moment, more comfortable with the unknown and confident in responding to the challenges that come our way. I trust that the intentional and collaborative relationship we form in therapy, coupled with hard work can help you achieve the same assurances.”Dorin is a licensed professional counselor with extensive experience working with quarterlife clients particularly from the LGBTQ+ community. At age 25, he encountered his personal quarterlife crisis which propelled him to authentically face himself and make meaning of his existence. As a result, he began to actively take responsibility for creating a meaningful life while engaging mindfully and intentionally those he encounters.
The journey of becoming himself continues and motivates him to come alongside other fellow sojourners through this stage of life. Dorin seeks to join quarterlifers in a therapeutic process of facing challenges and removing obstacles that block them from going deeper and further in their own personal journey of meaningful living. He enjoys working with individuals, couples and groups as he facilitates purposeful insights that will allow them to live their life more poignantly and reach their desired change.
In addition to helping his clients, Dorin loves spending time with his spouse and dog, catching up with friends, traveling, playing volleyball, and watching timeless cinema.
