Dr. Gorman is the mother of two toddlers and appreciates supporting mothers and families in her private practice. Dr. Gorman is interested in counseling, as well as psychological assessment (i.e. personality, intelligence, projective) and strives to provide individuals with a growth-promoting assessment experience. Other specialties include the provision of psychological and social work support for individuals living with acute mood and psychotic disorders. 

Special Interests and Services:

Dr. Gorman takes a holistic and strength-based approach to therapy. She aims to provide a space where people feel understood, supported, and safe to learn new skills to help during life’s tougher times. Dr. Gorman also feels that our relationships play an enormous role in our current life satisfaction. Thus conversations centered on boundary, relationship, and communication skills are also a part of the therapeutic process. Therapy is a powerful form of self-care and Dr. Gorman strives to provide a safe experience for all. I welcome diversity, LGBTQ+, religious, and spiritual persons.
