DODRIE ESCOFFERY, MPA., MSEd., MHC-LP

Therapist

OFFICE LOCATION : NEW YORK

Hello and welcome! I am a Caribbean-New Yorker, born on the island of Jamaica, West Indies, with a rich heritage that recognizes the strength of culture, community, and resilience. I’ve earned a Masters in Mental Health Counseling from Alfred University and a master’s in public administration and public Policy from John Jay College. I have a dedicated career to health and human services with sixteen years of experience in population and community health and a passion for advancing health equity. My specialties include anxiety, depression and LGBTQIA+ utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy [CBT] strategies and techniques to provide non-judgmental and collaborative therapeutic support.

 As a black man and an immigrant, I hope that the combination of my education, professional and personal experiences, can inform the ongoing conversation that supports undoing systematic barriers to optimal health which includes racism, which was recently declared as a public health crisis that negatively impacts so many areas of our society and limits the potential for each of us to live long and healthy lives, especially for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) communities.

Everything starts with a conversation! Let’s sit and talk, to explore whatever perspective comes to mind.
