About
Hi, I’m Dorothy Kerin MS LAC therapist dedicated to helping children, teens, and adults build resilience, develop emotional awareness, and navigate life’s challenges with greater balance and self-compassion. I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness-based approaches to support clients dealing with anxiety, emotional regulation, depression, stress, and relationship struggles. Whether I’m working with a child learning how to manage big feelings or an adult coping with life transitions, my goal is always to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where healing and growth can happen. In my work with kids and teens, I focus on helping them understand their emotions, build healthy coping skills, and improve communication at home and school. For adults, I offer tools grounded in DBT and mindfulness to reduce emotional suffering and increase presence, acceptance, and self-awareness.
