Stefanie Dorman, Psy.D.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist working with adults, adolescents, and children (10 years and older). My graduate degree is from Pace University, and I have several years of experience working in school, hospital, and outpatient clinical settings. I have worked with individuals with anxiety and mood disorders, trauma, parenting and relationship issues, as well as people coping with issues of self-esteem, gender, and sexuality. I have a strong background and passion for psychological assessment, and I can provide personality, intellectual, ADHD, and educational assessments, along with evaluations for bariatric surgery and gender-affirming surgeries.

​I am thrilled to work at Bryant West Psychology, where I can integrate my many experiences in a private practice setting. My approach to therapy emphasizes improving communication and building insight and awareness through compassion and curiosity. You will not feel as if you are talking to an empty chair when you work with me. My approach is direct, and I emphasize collaboration and humor. I seek to help you explore your core values and together we will address issues getting in your way of living your life in ways that will be most fulfilling and most fitting to who you are in a deep sense.

​When working with children and adolescents, I am committed to keeping you, the parent, informed and involved while respecting the developmental needs of your child/adolescent. A significant focus in my work with children/adolescents is increasing mutual understanding between parent and child and strengthening the parent-child relationship.

​As a supervisor, my approach is reflective and encouraging. I encourage supervisees to reflect on their own emotional experiences as they interact with patients in order to better conceptualize and intervene. I approach clinical supervision with the same curiosity and passion as my work with therapy patients so that my supervisees feel valued and well understood.

​I look forward to helping you reach your goals.
