Angela Dorfman, NP — Psychiatrist in Arizona

Hi there, I'm Angela!

I primarily work with adults and adolescents. I provide gender-affirming care. I am culturally sensitive and believe that each patient is unique. If you are on the road of self-discovery, healing, and finding your purpose, I would love to be a part of your dream.

My focus

I prefer a holistic approach. I want to hear my patient's story. I need to know as much as possible before I decide if we need to start medications or if therapy could be enough. We will use integrative (combined) therapy most of the time. Sometimes motivational or supportive, if needed.

My approach

I usually work with adults and adolescents 12 years old and up. I am treating anxiety, mood disorders (depression, PPD, bipolar), ADHD, PTSD, OSD, schizophrenia, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, substance use, and more.

My communication style

I am a human being, and I can be warm, empathic, and positive. We can laugh together or be sad. We always find goals to achieve and ways to do them. By the way, I am originally from Ukraine, so I have an accent, which you may or may not like.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was guided into the mental health field while caring for my husband, a disabled veteran, and helping him through his chemical addiction and accompanying behavioral issues. I have experience working at outpatient and acute inpatient facilities, taking care of adults and adolescents.

My goals for you

No push, no rush, an individual evidence-based approach. Deep assessment and evaluation of every follow-up. I believe in a trust-based relationship and going at your pace as you are comfortable.

Our first session

During the first session, you can expect a warm, friendly conversation during which you will tell me your story. I will ask you lots of questions, sometimes not very comfortable for you. You may choose to answer or not. This is an assessment that will help me evaluate and diagnose you.
