Her graduate thesis project, Her Voice in Photos, is an art therapy–informed participatory photography model that helps women explore identity, reframe personal narratives, and share curated visual stories through digital and community exhibitions. The project connects art and health, using photography as a reflective and therapeutic medium to foster empathy, connection, and visibility.

​

Doryn plans to expand Her Voice in Photos into organizations and community settings to address various women's mental health issues, offering one-on-one and group creative facilitation through therapeutic photography, advance her work in the arts and health sector, and introduce photography-based wellness programs within corporate environments. Her interdisciplinary background allows her to translate clinical insight into creative practice, offering a distinct approach to mental health and well-being.

She later created and hosted It’s Not a Crisis, a top-five Apple podcast on women’s midlife identity and wellbeing. The show is now being relaunched as a solo, reflective series that complements her ongoing work in creative wellness and reframing through storytelling.
