Coming to therapy is a heroic step. Yet without a great therapist, one's work toward healing may only go so far. As a clinician, I grasp the process and how to guide one from anxiety and fear to curiosity and hope, then to courage and competence.

Dimitri is a great listener and provides thought provoking questions and feed back. I've been in therapy for a long time with others and I feel Dimitri has been able to get me headed in the right direction for my goals.
