About Doro Mind
Our Story
We are on a mission to make meaningful recovery the norm for people with serious mental illness. We understand recovery doesn't happen in isolation; it is a team sport, including strong, supported caregivers.
What We Mean by Recovery
Meaningful Recovery
Meaningful recovery is a holistic, goal-oriented restoration of quality of life and daily functioning, where an individual has a sense of purpose and self, enabling them to form relationships and be a productive member of their community and society.
It aims to produce vital individuals with optimal physical functioning, free from pain both physically and emotionally, enjoying long and fulfilling lives.
Our team offers more than services; we offer a partnership. Whether you're looking for answers, stability, or simply someone who understands what you're going through, we are here to help.
We provide direct access to expert providers, compassionate guidance tailored to your situation, and a care team that believes recovery is possible with the right support, at the right time.
How It Started
Founded by People Who Lived It
Co-Founder
Mimi Liu
Mimi has walked alongside a loved one through the complexities of diagnosis, treatment, and the pursuit of recovery. Her personal experience shaped her understanding of what families truly need, and what the system too often fails to provide.
Co-Founder
Brady Richards
Brady has navigated serious mental illness within his own family, living firsthand the isolation, confusion, and hope that come with caring for a loved one with SMI. That lived experience is at the core of how Doro Mind approaches care.
Together, Mimi and Brady shared a simple but powerful mission: to build the kind of support system they wished they had, one that combines clinical excellence with real-world understanding.
When they looked at the state of mental health care, they weren't just seeing a broken system. They were seeing the pockets of hope hidden within it. Individual practitioners, programs, and treatment protocols with clear, outsized results. Recovery rates as high as 70% or more with the right care.
Doro Mind was created to dramatically increase access to these approaches. Their belief, grounded in evidence, is that recovery is not only possible but achievable, with the right care, guidance, and support system in place.
“A diagnosis doesn't have to define a person. Nor does it define your role as a caregiver.”
Mimi Liu & Brady Richards, Co-Founders
Why Doro Mind
Built Around Your Family's Journey
Life with SMI is unpredictable, emotional, and intensely challenging. Through our programs, Doro Care and Doro Compass, we tailor our approach to your family's unique journey, providing expert guidance, compassionate care, and steady, practical support for lasting recovery.
Families Are Central
Decades of research confirm what caregivers already know: family involvement is a key factor in meaningful, long-term recovery. We partner with families from day one, supporting the entire family unit, not just your loved one with SMI.
Expert in Complex SMI
We specialize in treating complex serious mental illnesses, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and related psychotic conditions. Our team brings deep clinical knowledge, lived experience, and compassionate care to every stage of the recovery journey.
Whole-Person Care
Mental health recovery is connected to physical health, daily routines, medication side effects, relationships, and a sense of purpose. We take a whole-person approach: clinically effective, practical, and deeply compassionate.
Flexible When You Need It
Life with SMI is unpredictable. We offer in-person care across NY, NJ, CT, and CA, and virtual support available nationwide, responsive, timely, and easy to reach whenever you need us most.
Clinical Expertise
Deep Experience with Clozapine & the EASE Protocol
At Doro Mind, we bring deep expertise in managing serious mental illnesses through Clozapine, a medication known for its effectiveness when other treatments have failed. Our approach is built around the EASE Protocol, a comprehensive, evidence-based framework for Clozapine management that maximizes its benefits while minimizing risks.
We understand the complexities of Clozapine therapy, and our approach ensures safety, stability, and meaningful recovery for your loved one.
Clinical Director
Dr. Robert Laitman, MD
Dr. Laitman is a recognized expert in Clozapine management with over 20 years of experience in psychiatric care and a personal commitment to advancing treatment for SMI.
Through the EASE Protocol, Dr. Laitman provides personalized, precise care to ensure that your loved one receives the full benefits of Clozapine while closely managing its side effects.

Whole-Person Focus
At Doro Mind, we believe that every family deserves world-class care for serious mental illness. SMI care should not just aim to manage symptoms but also support meaningful, lasting recovery.
Our team recognizes that mental health recovery is connected to physical health, daily routines, medication side effects, relationships, and a sense of purpose. We try to understand the full picture of your loved one's life so that treatment is not only clinically effective but also practical and compassionate.
We pay close attention to side-effect management and prioritize physical health, offering support for nutrition, sleep, metabolic health, and movement. Recovery is about more than the mind. It is about helping your loved one feel better in every sense and giving them a real chance at reclaiming the life they deserve.
