Dorothy Frazier, LCSW-R

Dorothy Frazier is an experienced clinician whose career spans more than 30 years working with individuals and groups affected by trauma, addiction, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. She completed clinical training through Columbia Universitys graduate program and pursued additional postgraduate training at other institutes, building a foundation in evidence-based approaches that inform her work. She is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychoeducation, and psychodrama, and integrates client-centered principles to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Her professional background includes clinical work and supervision across a wide range of settings - from inpatient psychiatric facilities and outpatient programs to corporate employee assistance programs and prison systems. She has provided services to professional athletes in the NFL and has lectured on topics such as trauma, mental illness, addiction, and how trauma presents in men, women, and adolescents. In addition to teaching as an adjunct professor, she has contributed to research on trauma and has co-authored work in the field.

Frazier brings particular experience helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, address relationship challenges, and recover from trauma and abuse. She emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach that supports clients as they pursue change, noting that while progress is a process, she has achieved notable results in treating both chronic and acute trauma in relatively brief timeframes. She works to create an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared and where each person can pursue a more fulfilling and resilient life. She holds the LCSW-R credential - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a registered designation in New York - and uses Client-Centered Therapy, CBT, and EMDR as core clinical approaches.
