About Dorina
Dorina Stern is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She has 19 years of clinical experience and helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and trauma and abuse. Dorina places attention on building self-knowledge as a starting point for change.
She encourages straightforward conversations about how life currently feels and what someone wants to be different.

Her work also addresses related concerns such as attachment issues, body image, communication problems, control issues, and isolation or loneliness. She supports people working through guilt, shame, forgiveness, and questions of life purpose.
Dorina brings nearly two decades of experience to common mood and stress challenges. She often helps people who face social anxiety and phobia, post-traumatic stress, mood disorders, and the emotional strains of pregnancy and childbirth. Her approach is person-centered and aimed at helping clients notice what works for them.
Clients who choose to work with her complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Dorina uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and asks people to confirm current session options when they book.
