Donald B Dufford, Phd

This review is long overdue… He listens, is supportive and knows how to guide you through tough times. Best Doctor ever. I consider him not only my counselor but a friend.

I would really recommend Dr.Dafford. He is amazing!!! I have had a tough time with anxiety and he really helped me get out of it. He was truly a gift during the time I needed him. I would surely recommend him to anyone with anxiety or depression. His CBT techniques are unique and great!!! Thank you Dr. Dafford

I called Dr. Dufford in March 2013 and I remember I asked, «Is this really going to work? I don’t think I will ever fly again but I don’t want to waste money and be where I am today.» He told me he had helped others fly and I decided to go in – what did I have to lose.
After 14 years of not flying, and being highly claustrophobic I just flew! There were no meds involved and I LOVED the experience. I was shocked that the days leading up to my flight I had no anxiety, I felt great parking, I got excited seeing the airplane, and I cried tears of joy when we took off. I was FREE!!! I had no anxiety on the flight, and to be honest I don’t think I could have one if I tried. I was in charge of my thoughts, my nervous system and I LOVED the experience of flying.
After 14 years of not flying I just booked my trip to NY, and we’re planning our first family trip to Hawaii. I’m SO thankful to have my life back. I have to say you have to do what Dr. Dufford says and practice the breathing treatments, and it will work. I thank God for bringing Dr. Dufford into my life, my life is forever changed because of it. #fearofflying #sohappy #thankful

Dr. Dufford helped me get over phobias that I thought I’d have to live with the rest of my life. I can honestly say that he changed my life. If you feel like life is hopeless as a result of anxiety and/​or phobias, please give it a try. You will never work so hard in your entire life but Dr. D. is there to support and guide you the entire time. It can be pricey, but wouldn’t you give anything to live the life you deserve to live. It is definitely not a quick fix and I have had minor set-​backs and I have checked in with him via e-​mail (at no cost) and he has supported me. I cannot say enough about him.
07÷18÷15 Update: I went back to Dr Dufford for a tune-​up (just 3 or 4 sessions) and took a flight to see my son in SoCal. I was totally comfortable and enjoyed myself immensely. I feel like I can go anywhere now. Please do not feel hopeless about your phobias and anxiety. There is help available!
Feel free to message me through Unilocal if you want to hear more.

Doctor Dufford is amazing. I think of Doc as my life coach. I went to him with a problem that I didn’t believe could be fixed. However with his cognitive behavioral expertise and a set of tools that he provided me with enabled me to overcome my challenges both in the short and long term.
I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for any type of help.

I should first say that I’m not really a therapy kind of person. I found myself in a situation where I experienced a panic attack, which I had never experienced before. I was a first a little skeptical of his methods, but I figured I would keep a open mind and give it a chance. I have to say I am amazed with the results. I would recommend Dr. Dufford to everyone.

I went to see Dr. for advice regarding my marital issues and medication I’ve been taking. He referred me to a psychiatrist for my medication…
Dr. Dufford is an excellent psychologist… He’s such a good psychologist that he actually referred me back to my original psychologist, because he thought that my original psychologist was in a better position to treat me for my marital issues… At first I was on the fence about which psychologist I should see because Dr. Dufford is that good at what he does, the advice he offers is excellent.
His advice may have helped save my marriage. Dr. Dufford is an excellent psychologist and highly recommended.

Dr Dufford has a direct but personable approach to treating OCD and Anxiety disorders. I especially recommend his website
to buy one or several of his MP3 or CD’s on Self Help Tools For Anxiety Relief and other Emtional issues. I have OCD and these recordings helped safe my emotional life immensely during my relapse. Highly recommended.

I wish I could give 10 stars! I saw Dr. Dufford about ten years ago and I can’t believe the change in my life, even today! I’ve learned to relax, get in touch with myself, and set aside all the tough memories and pain from the past. I enjoy the here and now. I still use the coping skills I learned in group. Dr. Dufford is amazing; you have finally found the help you have been looking for!

Dr. Dufford is very effective at listening and applying an extremely broad and varied set to techniques. He also helps you apply them with many media (mp3, notes, work sheets). I don’t know how my life is going to turn out but he is a touch-​stone to help me stay balanced and perspective. A GREAT resource! Life has rough spots and he can help!

I am writing this review so others in need of anxiety treatment know there is help available. Dr Dufford has extensive experience in this broad area and uses his technical knowledge to help us help ourselves get through days that seem insurmountable.
He begins with relaxation techniques — thus promoting awareness of the mind /​body relationship. He then uses techniques applicable to ones specific needs. Personally, I needed help in working through several infant losses and a very difficult childhood. His use of EMDR is allowing me to revisit these tramatic events without the high emotion I traditionally attached to these experiences — thus enabling me to accept these as part of me, but moreso putting them in their proper place in my past…
I believe Dr Dufford strives to provide his clients with the tools they need to gain control of their anxieties. This is a welcome change as I have made significant progress in a relatively short period. At last, I finally can believe and see there will be a day where needing a Psychologist is a thing of the past.
Consider giving Dr Dufford a call so you can get the help you need, but few Professionals can provide. All the best to you…
