Therapist Tori

Therapist Tori Hello, my name is Tori (Victoria) Dorsey and I provide counseling services to individuals, couples, I Graduated from UT Austin in 1996.

My specialty is working with couples and individuals as well as adolescents. I operate primarily from a Family Systems & Solutions-focused perspective. I obtained a Masters in Counseling in November 2005 from The Episcopal Seminary of the Southwest. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Advanced Human Behavior with Capella University. My style is interpersonal, direct, honest, & genuine. I provide sp

ecific examples and analogies that invite clients to entertain a perspective that is different from their own. I exemplify strengths and refute character flaws from becoming global meanings that block growth and progress in life.

Every life transition brings loss—but also opportunity.

💭 What if change isn’t just something to survive… but something that helps you grow deeper, stronger, and more self-aware?

Therapy can guide you through uncertainty and help you reconnect with your values and goals.

😔 “I had a tough day today, but I’m taking care of myself.”

When adults talk about their emotions, kids learn it's safe to do the same.

Normalize emotional conversations at home.

🌊 Sometimes it crashes over you without warning—a memory, a scent, a song.

Don’t fight the wave. Let it wash over you, knowing that it will pass.

Each wave brings you closer to a shore where the pain softens and the love remains.

You are not alone in the water. Keep breathing. Keep floating.

The tide always shifts.

When you lose someone, the world changes shape. Everything feels unfamiliar.

🌅 But slowly, gently, new routines emerge. New connections form. A new version of life begins to take shape.

This doesn’t mean you’ve “moved on.” It means you’re moving forward—with their memory beside you.

There is life after loss. Not the same, but still full of meaning.
