I’ve had the pleasure of attending many of Dr. Dorfman’s workshops and I can wholeheartedly say that she is one of the most down-to-earth people I’ve ever met. She has an incredible sense of humor and rapport with parents. I could listen to her all day long.

During Dr. Dorfman’s workshops at our school, parents hung on her every word. Her insight, sensitivity and expertise deepen every conversation. Every parent I’ve referred to her for a consultation has given her the highest of praise. No matter the topic, Dr. Dorfman brilliantly provides wisdom and perspectives that our parents value and request more of!
