Dorisa Reyes has been in practice 4 years and is licensed in New York. Dorisa lists stress, Anxiety, relationship issues and trauma and abuse among 29 subjects on the BetterHelp roster.
Everything below is either quoted from Dorisa's own BetterHelp listing, taken from public licensing records, or written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such. Nothing here is an availability promise, a review, or a rating.
01 · Who Dorisa works with
Dorisa lists 5 specialisms and 24 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Dorisa chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Dorisa's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I am a licensed therapist in New York who works with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Many of my clients come to me during periods of change, whether that’s a shift in career, identity, relationships, or overall direction, and are looking for clarity, stability, and a way forward.
I bring both clinical training and real-world experience into my work. Before transitioning fully into the mental health field, I spent many years in a high-demand professional environment, so I understand the pressures, expectations, and stress that can come with work, finances, and life decisions. This perspective allows me to connect with clients who are balancing emotional challenges with real-life responsibilities.
My style is warm, practical, and interactive. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable being honest, while also helping you move forward in meaningful ways. I work collaboratively with clients to improve communication, build confidence, process difficult experiences, and develop healthier patterns in relationships and daily life.
I also have experience working with trauma, self-esteem concerns, and multicultural issues, and I strive to provide an inclusive and respectful space for individuals from diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ clients.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about your next step, therapy can be a place to sort things out and start making changes. I’m here to support you in that process.

03 · What happens next
Dorisa practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Dorisa's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Dorisa at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Dorisa is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Dorisa.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Dorisa actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Dorisa's - Dorisa has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

Dorisa's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
