Dr. Doodeman skillfully and compassionately establishes an environment of trust and safety for her patients. She expertly creates space to identify, address, and productively process life events, while maintaining objectivism and asking poignant questions for reflection and self-work. I am consummately grateful to have found her! (I critically looked for a Dr. with her background & expertise) I highly & sincerely recommended Dr. Doodeman for your consultation and any mental health needs.
