Welcome, I'm Evelyn Dougherty and I've been a practicing therapist for over 30 years. I currently have openings in my practice - individual, couples, family and group work (which includes a couples group) Whether your in emotional pain from a loss, a break up, relationship stress, raising children, caring for older parents, health issues or challenges at work - I will work with you to create new responses that build your relationships and bring you closer and more intimate with the people in your life.

I work with adults who are trying to figure how to feel better about themselves and their most important personal and professional relationships. Building resilience, insight and meaningful connections starts with making sense of your values, core beliefs, and your goals for yourself. Because my background includes experience in nonprofit and corporate environments, I’m also attuned to the nuances of work relationships, and how issues like communication breakdowns, lack of confidence, and burnout impact our emotional state and our relationships with ourselves.

I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space built on a trusting connection where together we can explore whatever you bring into therapy. My integrative approach is client-centered, collaborative, and tailored to meet your unique needs. In addition to addressing the presenting problem, I consider all aspects of your life to enhance our work and support your flourishing.

William Arthur Ward once said, "We can choose to throw stones, to stumble on them, to climb over them, or to build with them." The passion I carry for the therapeutic process is not only founded on my training and education but also my personal experience. I have faith in one's capacity for growth that comes from the willingness to be honest and courage to face difficult issues. In this life we will encounter many stones in our path. It is up to each individual to choose what they will do with them.

Individual clients welcome. In my professional journey, I've had the privilege of guiding thousands of clients from diverse backgrounds, each with their own unique stories and challenges. I help individuals cultivate a deep understanding of their emotions, fostering emotional intelligence that is crucial for personal growth. I strive to create a space where feelings are acknowledged and processed, to clear a path for success. Embracing wellbeing as a fundamental aspect of strength is at the heart of my approach. The goal is for you to become an insightful expert of your own life - past, present and future.

Support for clients struggling with dating anxiety, relationship issues, attachment style questions, healing from a break up, depression or low mood, general anxiety, self-esteem, or curiosity and desire for more self-awareness and inner growth. The transformation begins when we are able to connect more deeply with ourselves after analysis of our patterns, behaviors, family dynamics, and how we show up in relationships.

I work with clients seeking to manage stress, understand themselves better, and gain insights into the dynamics of their relationships. I specialize in helping individuals who suffer from anxiety, mood disorders, grief, or emotional dysregulation. I have experience working with individuals from multicultural backgrounds. I am committed to providing a supportive and non-judgmental environment where individuals can feel safe to express themselves and explore their unique identities. I believe that psychotherapy should be tailored to the individual and that each person should be empowered to find their own solutions.

For couples therapy, I work to enhance your connection, resolve conflicts, improve communication, cultivate trust and intimacy, enhance sexual chemistry and romance, and become more compassionate partners. Recovery from affairs and pre-marital counseling are further specializations. I consult to individuals around stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or relationship issues. I provide a comfortable environment to explore your thoughts and feelings. I listen attentively and, more importantly, I provide you with insight, guidance, and skills to effectively make the changes you desire. In person or telehealth sessions are available.
