Dr. Sylvia Doss, PHD

I've seen Dr Doss for several years now. I am a 46 year old man who found out I was bipolar and had a serious autoimmune disorder within 6 months of each other when I was 41 years old. Dr Doss was very helpful as I processed through the things I felt I lost, and move on into more productive things. When we started I was a ball of nerves and in a constant rage. Dr Doss went and made me a checklist of techniques and exercises for when I felt hypomanic or depressive which I read every morning on my fridge. I rarely have those bipolar flare ups, and I control them now. I grew up in a southern family with 3 boys and my dad, and had never felt therapy was worth it, and that it would never work on me. She won't fix your problems for you. She provides advice and tools to let you work with long term. They've saved me in crises several times the past 3 years of COVID isolation. Dr Doss was not the 1st therapist I saw but she was the one I stuck with for several years now.

Dr. Doss has been an exceptionally helpful resource for me over the last 2+ years. For me, finding a counselor that you mesh well with is very important and it is not always easy to do. She is a straight shooter--in the best, most necessary way. She always shows compassion, leads gently when necessary and is never afraid to give me the nudge that I need when appropriate. My life is better because of my work with Dr. Doss. As a mom, I would highly recommend her to any mom out there, especially one who is missing self compassion in their life. And as someone that has used therapy intermittently for the last 10 years, I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sort through their "stuff" in order to live a better life.

Dr.Doss saved me from a very dark place I was living in . She listens to your issue and provides you with ideas on coping or overcoming your situation . She has life experience and has overcome tremendous obstacles in her life . I recommend Dr Doss to anyone wanting to change their life.

When Dr Doss returned my phone call she was abrupt and intimidating. She when on to say she does not help with disability paperwork. The way she said it made feel like a loser for needing it. My first impression was she lacked empathy and could of cared less about my troubles. I am glad I discovered this before making an appointment, after all I want help with my self worth and I hung up in tears.
