Dori Ellowitch

Dori (she/her) approaches therapy with an empathy-first mindset, creating a space that feels welcoming to all people and the full range of challenges they bring. Her aim is to empower her clients to feel safe and supported as they work on their mental and emotional well-being. Before becoming a therapist, Dori spent over 15 years in the marketing world - an experience that gives her a unique perspective on the complexities of modern life and the pressures many people face.

Dori earned her Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from Rutgers University. Dori has experience helping individuals and couples navigate a range of challenges including depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and relationship challenges. Her practice is rooted in the psychodynamic approach, which allows for deep exploration of the foundational experiences that shape who we are.

Dori understands that coming to therapy and starting the process of change is hard work that can feel intimidating. She aims to have each session feel like a natural conversation like you might have with a friend, to foster discussions that are open and productive. This environment allows clients the safety to openly share the hard things that they face, knowing that they’ll get ample support from Dori on their journey. 

Dori works in person at our 8th Avenue location and virtually throughout New York and New Jersey.
