Dora Durante

Dora Durante, LCPC, brings a wealth of experience in working with a diverse population of individuals, families, and groups. Her practice accommodates various demographics, including adolescents, adults of all ages, and seniors, across different socio-economic backgrounds and ethnicities, including Africans, African Americans, Asians, Europeans, and English-speaking Hispanics. Dora facilitates group counseling sessions on topics such as divorce care for men and women, single parenting, grief sharing, teen issues, domestic violence intervention (for both victims and perpetrators), and anger management. Through these experiences, she has developed a profound understanding that diversity encompasses a wide range of belief systems and norms. Her primary focus is to create a foundation of trust, empowering her clients to cultivate a more positive and realistic self-concept. Dora aims to guide individuals in becoming active participants in their quest for meaning and well-being, helping them navigate through unprocessed pain and emotional distress. She is committed to assisting her clients in transforming negative narratives into positive ones, redirecting negative energy into a force for good, overcoming self-pity and low self-esteem, and reclaiming voices silenced by various forms of abuse. Dora ultimately helps individuals to move beyond their past, fostering hope for the future, and striving for Soul Justice in today's society.
