About Dori
Dori Hart
MA, LCPC
I have a lifelong interest in the mind, body and spirit as an integrated system and a passion for helping people heal and find meaning, connection and inner peace. I offer creative and effective tools, skills and practices to assist others in their healing and transformation.
I am a wounded healer dedicated to my own deep and difficult work. I have been practicing yoga for 25 years, and align spiritually with the traditions and teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda and the Self Realization Fellowship. My own healing journey has been enhanced by experiences with: Internal Family Systems therapy, EMDR therapy, Shamanic journeying, Holotropic breathwork, Psychedelic psychotherapy, Past life regression therapy and other experiences and wisdom I’ve been lucky to pick up along the way. I meet regularly with colleagues for practice and consultation and stay current with training so that I may offer cutting edge therapy that exceeds ethical standards.
Outside of my work, I love being a mother to my two daughters and spending time with my dog and two cats. I find joy in hiking, foraging, fermenting, baking, cooking, sauna and cold plunge. Living and working in Maine is something I’m deeply grateful for—our creative communities and stunning landscapes continually inspire and ground me.
"Dori is an incredibly authentic and empathetic therapist. I am queer/non-binary and Dori has been excellent with my pronouns. I've been working with her for many years and she's helped me through guilt, relationship imbalances, self-doubt and countless other concerns along the way. Particularly, her expertise in Family Systems Therapy has been pivotal in my successful growth during this time. Gently, she is able to work with parts of me that have experienced trauma, and help me find acceptance and work-arounds for behaviors and ideas that don't serve me. I am very grateful for my time with Dori and would (and HAVE) recommend her service to anyone in need of someone they can trust. Her communication with me makes me feel safe, seen, and cared for. She's by far the best therapist I've ever worked with."

Dori is the best therapist I have ever worked with. She is a master with Internal Family Systems therapy, and I have experienced many breakthroughs in therapy with her where I have previously been stuck in trauma and old behavior and thinking patterns. She has helped me gain self-compassion, and form deeper connections with my spiritual self. I have greatly benefited from the breathwork and sound healing practices she uses in our therapy.

I have been working with Dori in couples therapy, and I feel more hopeful than I have been in a very long time. She is an expert in relationships, and creates a warm, judgement-free space for us to get outside our comfort zones- aka old patterns- and guides us to practice being very vulnerable with each other. I leave there feeling calm, connected and loved.
