She has been very helpful. I have needed someone to talk to who I can trust, and she has made a difference. I have a much better handle on how to deal with things now. I may talk with her one last time in a few weeks.
More about Sartreina

- LICSW
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in the state of Massachusetts with over 25 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have over 9 years of experience teaching in the behavioral sciences and advising students. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma and emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm, interactive and listening I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My therapy approach combines cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic counseling. I will work with you to tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here for you. I will support and empower you to help bring about the change that you desire.
I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Dr. Dottin is wonderful at using my strengths to help address my weaknesses! She meets me where I am. She also checks in when she has not heard from me in a while. I would recommend her to anyone seeking Christian or other counseling services.
She’s the best! I highly recommended
