Philosophy and
Approach
Dr. Gorin is a Clinical and Neurosychologist with a private practice in Washington,
D.C. and Maryland. He has over 25 years of clinical experience. Dr. Gorin
provides a variety of evaluation and
psychotherapy services for children, adolescents, and adults. This
includes neuropsychological assessments for students with learning
issues, ADHD or personality and behavioral problems.
Dr. Gorin also provides similar services for adults who are dealing with learning
issues, dementia and brain injuries. In psychotherapy, he works with
adults, adolescents and couples who are seeking individual psychotherapy
to address problems such as depression, anxiety, issues of direction in
life, self-esteem issues, divorce, parenting, ADHD, relationship
problems, difficulties in work, adoption issues, or recovery from a
difficult childhood.
Dr. Gorin also offers a variety of forensic
evaluations, with a specialty in immigration-related issues.
Dr. Gorin has an interactive approach to
therapy and sees it as a partnership in which clients can get to the
bottom of their difficulties and begin to practice new ways of dealing
with problems as well as new ways of being. There are no guarantees in
counseling--however, in my experience patients do get better and almost
always achieve the goals they set forth at the beginning of therapy.
Dr. Gorin received his Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) from the Massachusetts School
of Professional Psychology in 1984.
In addition to my work with clients,
Dr. Gorin has trained and supervised
hundreds of doctoral students and professionals and is on the teaching
faculty at the Professional Psychology program at George Washington
University where he teaches
neuropsychological assessment.
Dr. Gorin has been on the adjunct faculty of the University of Massachusetts,
Boston University, Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology, Yale
University and Howard University. If you are interested in psychotherapy
please call Dr. Gorin's office to set up a consultation
appointment. His office is in Northwest Washington, DC and is less than
a one-minute walk from the Woodley-Zoo Metro stop. Dr. Gorin offers all services in both English and
Spanish.
