Hi, I’m Doria!
Hi, I’m Doria!
 I founded The Loom on the principle that healthy relationships and a sense of connection are the necessary foundation for building a happy, healthy life. As a Columbia-trained therapist specializing in both Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and The Gottman Method—the two most effective approaches for couples—I’ve spent over 13+ years and 10,000+ sessions helping individuals and couples build deeper, more meaningful connections through research-backed, transformational therapy.
My expertise lies in helping clients tackle the barriers that interfere with genuine understanding and true intimacy. Whether working with individuals or couples, I create a compassionate and nonjudgmental space to explore how we show up in our relationships—past and present—and remove what’s standing in the way of deeper connection.
My philosophy is rooted in the power of introspection and the knowledge that we all have the capacity to make meaningful changes in our lives. Most importantly, I want to help you find a sense of peace in becoming your most authentic self. I decided to become a therapist in large part because therapy made such a profound difference in my own life, and I feel incredibly lucky that I get to pay that forward to you.
