blair doroshwalther

they/he · LMSW, Staff Therapist

blair brings over a decade of trauma-informed, survivor-centered experience supporting individuals affected by domestic, gender-based, and intimate partner violence. With a unique background that merges 20 years of work in both the arts and social work, blair approaches therapy through a life philosophy rooted in the integration of art + activism—as powerful tools for healing, self-determination, agency, and social change.

Their clinical experience spans working with two often divergent populations: survivors of violence and individuals who have caused harm. They are deeply attuned to the complexities and nuances within these experiences, centering their work on building relationships, fostering understanding, and cultivating self-awareness. They recognize the transformative possibilities that exist in both healing and accountability.

blair specializes in client-centered psychotherapy, anger management therapy, relationship-building (in non-traditional and traditional relationships), harm reduction, and supporting individuals navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, addiction, and issues related to self-esteem.
