Welcome!
I am whole-heartedly with you on this journey.
Welcome! I am Carlota Dorn, LCSW, and I provide trauma-informed and culturally responsive therapy to teens, adults, veterans, and immigrants throughout California, Oregon, and Washington. My approach combines compassion, authenticity, and humor to help you heal from trauma, navigate life transitions, and find renewed meaning in your life. I invite you to consider the ways in which your life can be more fulfilling, vibrant, and aligned with your values. I hope you allow me to join you as a supportive witness to your journey!
I ask you right here please to agree with me that a scar is never ugly. That is what the scar makers want us to think. But you and I, we must make an agreement to defy them. We must see all scars as beauty. Okay? This will be our secret. Because take it from me, a scar does not form on the dying. A scar means, I survived.
Chris Cleave, Little Bee
