Dory Dzinski is a nationally certified (NCC) Connecticut licensed professional counselor (LPC). Her passion is working together with individuals or couples to help enhance their lives by working through challenges and making room for a lighter, more enjoyable life.
Spirituality is an area that is often neglected in counseling and psychotherapy. While it may not be the desire of every client, Dory provides the opportunity to bring spirituality into the sessions of those who find it meaningful and helpful on their life path.
Areas that she is particularly effective with are as follows:
Separation and Divorce
Life Transitions
Codependence
Forgiveness
Self Esteem
Loss of Self
Anger and Frustration
Dark Nights of the Soul
Trauma
Psychospiritual Causation of Illness
Location
Sessions are held at the lovely home office of Dory Dzinski located at 47 Maple Avenue in the historic Collinsville section of Canton, CT. Her home is a federal colonial built in 1870, and has wonderful and warm Victorian touches that help the client feel safe and secure.
Collinsville has recently received the honor of being in the Top 10 Coolest Little Towns in the U.S. It is a beautiful little town that offers opportunities for calming walks on the Rails to Trails, lunches at pretty little sites, interesting shopping at unique boutiques, kayaking and canoeing a half mile from her office, and other balancing adventures either before or after your session.
