I have been seeing Dr. Michael Doria since January 2023, and he has truly helped me overcome my anxiety and depression. He goes above and beyond to ensure that I’m doing well, even checking in on me outside of our scheduled sessions. Dr. Doria listens carefully to my concerns and offers thoughtful, practical advice. I’ve seen several doctors over the years, but Dr. Doria is by far the best!

Patient V.C. New York, NY

Doc creates the most safe, nonjudgmental space to share anything and everything. He’s genuine and honest, and I feel like our time together has made a significantly positive impact on my every day. I am excited for my growth and feel stronger since our work together. Dr Doria is knowledgeable , mindful, relatable, so easy to talk to, and always there to listen and tell you the truth! 🙂

Patient S.S. New York, NY

I began working with Dr. Doria several months ago, and since then, his support has been invaluable in helping me navigate personal challenges. Through our sessions, he has equipped me with effective self-help strategies, positive outlets, and practical techniques for stress management—all of which have allowed me to prioritize my well-being. Dr. Doria approaches each session with a compassionate yet direct style, creating an environment where I feel both understood and empowered. His approach has helped me confront obstacles with confidence, making each session an opportunity for growth. I look forward to our continued work together and would highly recommend Dr. Doria to anyone seeking professional psychological support.

Patient A.T. Lewiston, ME

I would 100% recommend Dr. Doria. Not only was he flexible with scheduling, but he is also absolutely easy to talk to. Very personable and helpful. Just like talking to a friend I have known for years. Listens and gives great feedback. Absolutely grateful.

Pt L.A. New York, NY

Wow. I've been in therapy for over 15 years, and I have never had a counselor as outstanding as Dr. Doria. I was once late to an appointment, and he was still incredibly patient and understanding. And his bedside manner is remarkable. He empathizes, shows that he's listening through verbal cues, and asks incredibly probing questions. I feel heard and understood, which, unfortunately, many therapists do not provide. Additionally, whenever we end our sessions, I truly believe he's interested in talking with me and learning more. He's asked me if I want to schedule an appointment sooner than our currently scheduled one, instead of giving me the usual "okay, good luck"-type response other therapists give. If Dr. Doria reads this—thank you!!

Patient B. I. Boston, MA

Last year I didn't know what was wrong with me and just that something was. I came to Dr.Doria and couldn't be happier with my decision. Not only did he identify the issue but, also identified that the dosage of my medicine was incorrect. After hearing about his credentials and researching him I contacted Dr. Doria and immediately heard back and scheduled and appointment. He was there for me from start to finish and constantly made me feel not just like apatient but that he truly cared about me and my wellbeing. He truly listens, and I never felt more at ease then when talking to him. He is truly experienced and knowledgeable in what he does,and his credentials speak for them self. I would highly recommend Dr. Doria to anyone I know and owe my now emotional wellness to him.

Dr. Doria is not only a dear colleague; he is also a mentee and friend. His intellectual ability, ability to communicate, self-reliance and motivation are superior.

Eric G. Schwartz, MD, JD, MPH Rear Admiral U.S. Public Health Services

Thank you, Dr. Doria for all that you have given and all you have accomplished. Thank you Dr.Doria, for your compassion and caring about the health and well-being of our Coast Guard.

Jeffrey Salvon-Harman, MD RN Health Educator, Population Health

I worked with Dr. Doria as part of a military healthcare team for treatment of combat related traumatic brain injury. The team developed many cutting-edge medical resources and tools that improved the quality of life for many Marines and sailors returning from the Middle East. Dr.Doria’s contributions as a neuropsychologist were significant to the program’s success.

Shirley A. Jett, PhD, RN Jeffrey Salvon-Harman, MD

Dr. Doria’s determination, dedication, initiative, fervent drive and amiable personality were critical to the outstanding success of the Navy / Marine Corps innovative traumatic brain injury programs. By ensuring medical personnel’s knowledge of and competency in managing and treating concussion in the combat theater, Dr. Doria has directly contributed to the health and safety of U.S. military combat troops engaged and developed to both Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation New Dawn. Dr. Doria’s exceptional accomplishment and impressive performance to achieve Navy Medicine’s mission.

Matthew L. Nathan, MD Vice Admiral Medical Corps

I had the pleasure of working closely with Dr. Doria through much of 2010-2012 and found him to be an exemplary officer and medical professional. His vision and leadership skills were essential to the establishment of the first-ever comprehensive U.S. Marine Corps Traumatic Brain Injury program to include a comprehensive TBI training program. He successfully combined his professional expertise as a neuropsychologist with his unparalleled energy and leadership skills to provide critical support to the U.S. Marine Corps. I hope I will get the opportunity to work with Dr. Doria again in the future.

David A. Tarantino, Jr., MD, MPH Captain - Medical Corps

Dr. Doria came in and immediately had a positive impact on our program. Dr. Doria worked tirelessly to update and expand the trainings. Our frontline military personnel now have a betterunderstanding of how to care for service members with concussion due directly to his efforts.

Jack W. Tsao, MD, DPhil Captain - Medical Corps

Dr. Doria was the driving force behind the design and implementation of four new training courses to support the Navy’s Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Program in assessing brain trauma within the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. The results of these training programs were highly lauded by not only the Navy’s Chief, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, but, both the Navy and Marine Corps Surgeon Generals’, which resulted in Dr. Doria’s work being presented to the Australian Defense Department and to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) Forces in Europe.

Maura Dollymore, MD Rear Admiral / U.S. Coast Guard

During his humanitarian deployment after the catastrophic earthquake in Haiti in 2010, Dr. Doria was an integral part of a team. His primary responsibility was to provide psychological first aid, trauma assessment, and counseling services to child orphans, earthquake victims, and unaccompanied children. In addition, Dr. Doria also provided excellent counseling support to the children’s staff and other volunteers.

Enrique Ginzburg, MD Chief Medical Officer Project Medishare Field Hospital Port-au-Prince, Haiti

I decided to work with Dr. Doria because of his extensive background and training in neuropsychology and as a professional counselor. My main problem areas were being organized and productive and I also had work and family issues at the time.  Dr. Doria kept me on track in the areas that I needed to work on and provided me with concrete help and ideas. During sessions he reviewed all life areas that he knew were important to me. He gave me real life help and advice that was “above and beyond” what you would get in therapy, and this contributed to an “upward spiral” in my life.  He was a great listener but also good at understanding. Because of this, I looked forward to our upcoming talks knowing that he'd be there to listen and offer helpful advice and ideas in the various situations that I was facing.  Working with Dr. Doria was a positive and productive time in my life. I was going through difficult times at work and in my life but was able to get through staying positive, functional, and making progress in all areas.

Patient Angela Bronxville, New York

I was looking for help with the onset of an apprehension to fly during the pandemic. I am a flight attendant for 22 years and this was very unusual for me to be experiencing these emotions. I came across Dr. Mike Doria’s credentials and saw that he was a mental health coach for my company. I noticed that his background in trauma and recovery programs would be helpful to my problems. My main concern was how to keep flying at my job without this nervousness and anxiety. I also have a special needs child at home with developmental delays. Dr. Doria and I worked through some of the areas in my life concerning my daughter’s limitations, my relationships, and post-divorce co-parenting issues. He helped me to stay positive during these stressful times. He encouraged me to continue taking care of myself by doing the things I love to do! In each session he keeps me on target and reviews all my life challenges and how I am going to find solutions to each issue. I have always looked forward to our sessions because I know that I have an advocate. It wasn’t long till I started to see improvements in all areas of my life!  Most importantly, I’m happy to report that flying is getting better, and I am able to continue to do my work.

Patient Carla New York, New York

Thank you for all you have done for us. Unfortunately, I had to call you several times for one reason or another during your off time, and you always answered and ready to support our employee group. You were there for our employees during some very hard times, and I know that many employees grew a trusting relationship with you. Thank you.
