Our Experts

Dori Gatter, PsyD, LPC

One of the greatest obstacles to success, whether in relationships or business, is fear. Fear often causes us to avoid making decisions—not just big decisions, but even small ones.

Deborah Krevalin, LPC, LMHC

I am a Business Relationship Coach, who is also a Relationship Expert and Licensed Therapist. I connect with clients at the deepest, most personal level, something general business coaches can’t offer. Launching and growing a company is overwhelming and having strong emotional and intellectual support can be the difference between falling short and successfully achieving your goals.

What People Are Saying

I reached out to Deborah over a year ago. I was at an all-time low in both my personal and professional life. I was dealing with deep-seated conflicts with toxic personalities. One of my business partners was bullying me, making false accusations, and exhibiting threatening behavior. Ultimately, this affected my mental health, physical health, my overall happiness and sense of well-being.

I lacked the self-confidence needed to stand-up for my values and lacked the self-worth to believe I deserved better. The professional help and support Deborah gave me changed my life both personally and professionally. Deborah empowered me to articulate my feelings and helped me understand the issues at hand in a way that gave me the clarity necessary to move forward. After a short time working with her, my self-confidence improved tremendously. I began feeling fulfilled and content. Our work together translated to my interactions with my co-workers as well as within my personal life. I became self-assured and calm in high pressure situations. Because I can now stand up for myself, especially to this toxic partner, I am more productive at work and capable of handling setbacks and adversities in a constructive way.

Deborah helped me find myself.

Deborah has the instinctual ability to know what her client needs at any given time, and how to best tailor each session accordingly. I credit a lot of who I am today as a result of the help she has provided for me. I plan to continue my work with Deborah and I look forward to continued personal and professional growth. I recommend Deborah to anyone looking to improve any aspects of their business or personal life.

Deborah is professional, responsive and most importantly – she is 100% relatable. She is so in-tune with her clients expressions and body language that they don’t have to speak too much for her to know what’s going on! She has an easy way of sparking conversations; making one feel comfortable and safe; and there is a willingness to connect, as opposed to just being a sounding

board. I highly recommend Deborah Krevalin

Dori worked with me and my business partner of 31 years to help us sort out dissolving the business, who was also a friend of 39 years. My partner wanted to leave the business, and we were fighting about how to split, while still maintaining our friendship. By the time we met with Dori, we were on the verge of hiring attorneys to negotiate terms, our business was in danger of self-destructing because morale was so low, and our friendship was in jeopardy. After two months of working with Dori, we didn’t need to go through litigation, and saved ourselves about $50,000. Dori helped us work out a way to break up the business partnership that worked for everyone. Morale increased, sales went back up and our friendship was in great shape! Incredibly, Dori helped save us $300,000 in sales and attorney’s fees and saved a 39-year friendship.

I had one major block for, well, most of my adult life. Dori helped me explore and address it. She identified and explained it to me in a way no one else ever has. The simple exercise she guided me through helped me finally overcome something that literally has consumed my thoughts and actions in negative ways for as long as I can remember. Now my business and life have taken off in new, exciting ways I couldn’t have imagined. She knows her stuff, and she knows how to apply it to the real-world situations that hold business executives like me back.”

Dr. Dori Gatter is wonderful! She helped me and my cofounder figure out the vast majority of root issues we’ve had. We started out in a rough patch, and now we have a functional relationship again. She has been the catalyst for generating not just a lot of financial value to us, but also personal and emotional value. I would strongly recommend her to any cofounders or couples that need to understand each other more.

Dr. Dori is a seasoned pro. I got the sense she has seen it all. Through our work together I learned there’s a big difference between a coach or therapist who has been working with people for 20+ years and someone new to the practice. When we reached out to her, we were at a critical point of conflict with our founding team. We needed someone who could drop in quickly, read our situation correctly and provide tools we could put into effect immediately. I was impressed with how effective Dori’s coaching was, given the short amount of time she had with us. I Highly recommend her!

We started working with Dr. Dori Gatter because of the stress of our dual roles as co-founder and as couple. Although it has certain benefits to start a company with your partner, the distinct challenges are going beyond normal co-founder issues. Being a couple and starting your own company means that you spend almost 24h together and that you never really leave work. The major problem with this, we, as a couple faced is that we stopped spending personal time together and just worked. Also, the stress increased as we entered into the next phase of our startup. As a result, our relationship deteriorated and we were not ideal co-founders and business partners any longer. We were on the brink of ending the private relationship and continue just as co-founders and not sure how that would have worked out for the life of the company. This was when we started to work with Dori. We both enjoy working with her because of her talent to bring our unique personalities and work-related roles together without any of us having “to give in”. My co-founder and are very different types of people and deal with stress in opposite and sometimes opposing ways. With Dori’s help, we learned to understand each other but more importantly we learned to understand ourselves. Dori taught us how to listen to our needs and how to express them. Based on really effective exercises Dori gave us, communication at work and at home vastly improved. The stress from running a startup is still present but we can deal with this much better now and as a team. What I value the most in the work with Dori is that she is able to relate to me on an emotional level, the way I understand best, and immediately switch to the more intellectual way to address my partner, which works for him best. She then creates a common language for the two of us where we can talk, listen and be understood. I am sure that without working with Dori our relationship and our business wouldn’t exist in this way.
