Dr. Dobbs is an accomplished clinical psychologist with over fifteen years of experience between teaching and clinical work. She specializes in working with children, teens, and adults and has worked across various settings, including private practice, school, residential, and community mental health. Her therapeutic approach is rooted in the gold standard of treatment, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which provides faster, more effective results. With children and teens, she goes beyond the traditional confines of therapy by harnessing their natural creativity, integrating art, music, games, journaling, and other creative outlets.
Dr. Dobbs has a profound understanding of mood, anxiety, OCD, parenting, ADHD, executive functioning, life transitions, adjustment issues, and perinatal mental health. Clients describe her as a keen listener, solution-focused, nonjudgmental, and approachable. Her sense of humor adds a touch of warmth, creating an environment conducive to growth and healing.
Beyond therapy, Dr. Dobbs is highly skilled in psychological evaluations, specializing in learning disorders, ADHD, and social-emotional functioning. She takes pride in delivering comprehensive evaluations and places a premium on thorough feedback, ensuring families leave with clear understanding of presenting issues and confidence in the intervention plans.
