Professional statement

Dorlee Michaeli is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), EMDR-certified, with an MBA and advanced psychoanalytic training. With over a decade of experience in both corporate and clinical settings, she specializes in helping high-achieving women in tech, finance, and healthcare who struggle with anxiety, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, or feeling stuck in their careers or relationships.

Dorlee works with early to mid-career professionals who are accomplished yet hesitant to take up space—especially those who grew up making room for others to shine. Her integrative approach blends deep emotional insight with evidence-based tools to help clients quiet their inner critic, own their expertise, and step into leadership roles—and incomes—that reflect their true worth.

She also offers EMDR Therapy Intensives for those seeking faster, deeper breakthroughs in addressing career blocks, unresolved trauma, or life transitions.

Message to clients

No matter how much you achieve, it never feels like enough. You lie awake at night overthinking, and during the day you shrink in meetings, second-guessing yourself. You’re exhausted from trying to prove your worth while hiding how anxious or stuck you really feel.

If this resonates, you're not alone—and you don’t have to keep pushing through. I help high-achieving women move beyond perfectionism, people-pleasing, and self-doubt so they can lead with clarity, speak up with confidence, and navigate transitions with strength and self-trust.

My style is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful. Together, we’ll work at your pace, blending EMDR with insight-oriented therapy to help you reconnect with your voice and become wholly yourself—at work and in life.

Let’s connect. I offer online therapy in NY, NJ, and IL, and limited in-person sessions in Chicago. Schedule a free phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
