In-Person Therapy

Focused healing in a protected, therapeutic space.

Virtual Therapy

Convenient, confidential and flexible.

Hi, I’m Dorian Race, a licensed therapist in Orlando who specializes in helping people navigate life’s transitions—whether it’s a career shift, relationship change, parenthood, loss and grief, or just a season of feeling stuck. I believe that every transition, even the unwanted ones, carries the possibility of growth, clarity, and renewal.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. Together, we slow things down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and build the skills you need to feel more centered, confident, and aligned with the life you want. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to have it all figured out. You get to show up exactly as you are.

I’m trained in many approaches including trauma-informed care, CBT, ERP and Accelerated Resolution Therapy and I integrate these tools based on what best fits your unique needs—not a one-size-fits-all method. Clients often tell me they appreciate my calm presence, straightforward guidance, and ability to help them feel understood without judgment.

Outside the therapy room, I’m someone who values balance, nature, creativity, and continual growth—just like the people I work with. I bring that same openness into our sessions so you always feel supported, grounded, and empowered. I am a parent, a wife, a daughter and a fellow human, doing all I can to contribute in the most meaningful way to me.

If you’re in a season of change and ready to feel more like yourself again, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity and confidence. Let's connect today and work together to find the best path forward for you.
