Dr. Dowtin, Child/Perinatal, Trauma Counselor

My clients describe me as:

A calming presence who is invested in their wellbeing. You'll find yourself feeling comfortable to laugh at my analogies or safe to cry when you need.

Something to know about my approach is:

Often a journey back to the earliest moments of your life to heal your inner child. Through narrative development, mindfulness practice, and expressive therapy, you will find your inner healing to improve your self-worth and relationships.

Together, we will:

Explore the ways that you interact with the world around you in order to discover the origins of what is making you struggle in your daily life. At your pace, we will gently nudge into the corners of your mind to rewrite your unhealthy patterns.

I specialize in working with people who:

Are just entering the world and have caregivers who need support; are caregivers or are trying to become caregivers of very young children; or are adults wanting to make sense of some of their earlier life events in order to reach a healthier self.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I started my teletherapy practice in 2018 because I was frustrated with the barriers that my clients were facing trying to get to their appointments.

More about me and my practice:

I work with a split age group, specializing in children (birth to five years old) and adults with very specific areas of concern related to trauma. I am a highly specialized Black therapist who has lenses of race, culture, social justice, and trauma.
