Therapy
beyond the Spoken Word.
Experiential Therapy
- Somatic practices, Sandtray Therapy, IFS
Experiential therapy is different from Talk Therapy - It focuses on embodied processes and real time experiences in the therapeutic space to bring the client into relationship with feelings, attitudes and beliefs that are generally considered to be subconcious. It provides access to wisdom from within, increases self trust, provides a safe path for healing emotional injuries (trauma) and brings self-compassion and self-worth into the bodymind.

WOUNDED HEALER
Maybe you have been in talk therapy for years, and you have identified your ‘triggers’ and know exactly what you need to change. But for some reason, your learned coping strategies don’t always work - you still worry, yell, shop, eat, drink, work too much…...
Or maybe you really want to ‘listen to your body’ and ‘stay in the present moment’ - but you don’t really know how to do that.
We will do more than ‘talk about things’! If you are interested, we can use somatic practices and/or Sandtray work to experience new perspectives and to integrate the body with the mind. You will learn to relate to your thoughts and behaviors with curiosity and compassion so that change can emerge from within you.

Grief and Loss
“Working with Dorit has been a deeply meaningful experience. From the beginning, she created a space where I felt safe enough to be fully myself. Through our work together, I’ve learned to meet thea parts of me I once avoided with understanding and care. Dorit has a rare ability to listen without judgment and guide with compassion, and that has had a lasting impact on how I relate to myself and my inner world.”
What Clients say
“My time with Dorit can be described without exaggeration as truly life-changing. From the very beginning, she instinctively knew what to do to establish safe connection and rapport with me and my wounded parts. She is consistently compassionate, authentic, and unafraid to speak truth while creating a safe space for me to show up however I need to. She is unafraid to laugh with me, cry with me, or use her ability to see deeply into my heart to help me find the healing I have been searching for for many years. Grateful is not an adequate enough word to describe how I feel about having Dorit as my therapist. I have enthusiastically recommended her to friends, family, colleagues, and anyone else who will listen to me talk about her. “
“Working with Dorit has been truly life-changing. She has helped me reconnect with myself in a deep and meaningful way and gently guided me through over 40 years of unprocessed emotions. What sets Dorit apart is her ability to walk with you through trauma while creating an environment that feels safe, grounded, and deeply supportive.
Each session allows space to explore difficult experiences without feeling overwhelmed. I consistently leave feeling rebalanced, calm and more connected to myself. Through this work, my life has improved in countless ways. I carry a calmer presence, I feel more emotionally steady in situations that once felt challenging, and I am beginning to heal.
Dorit’s insight, compassion and steady presence have made it possible to do work I once thought would be too heavy to face. I’m deeply grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking meaningful, transformative therapy.”
“As someone with a shared clinical interest in Internal Family Systems (IFS), I am especially struck by how attuned and skillful Dorit is in bringing this model to life in her own way. Her work integrates IFS with deep somatic awareness, making sessions feel grounded, embodied and genuinely transformative. She has an exceptional ability to track subtle emotional and physical cues, helping me connect more safely and compassionately with my internal ststem. I continue to feel deeply seen, respected and supported in the work.”
