Individual and Group Therapy for Healing, Growth, and Empowerment
Welcome from Dorian Kondas, MA, PhD
Licensed Psychologist, EMDRIA certified
If you are here for the first time, you are probably facing some kind of struggle, relationship conflict, or emotional pain. I know the courage it can take to come to a first session of therapy.
Please know I will offer you a safe, warm, relationship-oriented process of holistic healing. I have trained and practiced extensively both as a generalist and specialist with many hundreds of diverse people. Perhaps like you! With focus in queer specialization through the Yale School of Medicine and the V.A., in generalist graduate psychology through Penn State, and in spiritually-informed counseling at the Buddhist school of Naropa Univeristy, our work together may engage you at the levels of body, mind, and spirit.
We will collaborate on how best to meet your goals, process through any trauma, and help you become the person you most want to be. We may laugh together or cry together. We will be partners in what I truly believe can become your transformation.

Is there a painful memory that just won’t go away? Do you often wonder if you’re suffering from trauma, but you’re not entirely sure?
Do you find yourself endlessly reliving a painful experience from the past? Are you suffering from flashbacks, nightmares, and intrusive thoughts?
Do you feel like other people don’t accept you for who you are? Are you tired of living in a society with such rigid gender roles?
EMDR is one of the most researched and evidence-based forms of trauma and PTSD treatment in existence.
