Doi works across a range of areas, including individual and couples’ therapy/marriage counselling (including cross-cultural and LGBTQ+ relationships), adolescent and teen struggles, healthy relationship-building, managing workplace stress, and helping clients heal from childhood traumas and adverse childhood experiences. He also assists individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, work-life crises, workplace stress, and burnout. Doi is passionate about helping clients cultivate self-awareness and mindfulness in their daily lives.

He is also expanding his expertise in Internal Family Systems (IFS).
Doi tailors the counselling process to meet each client’s unique challenges, strengths, and areas for growth, working collaboratively to support their healing and development.
