My personal philosophy in life is that you can do anything you set your mind to when you have the support and faith to spur you forward. Without support or a belief system, I believe it’s harder if not impossible to be a better/matured version of yourself. If you have felt stuck or felt unmotivated by life's present challenges or past hurts and pains or just overwhelmed by it all, You have a place to find that comfort, guidance, and solutions, where it was believed there, were not.

Awareness is everything and so is attitude. Through awareness, we can change attitudes. I am passionate about working together with individuals and families during challenging times. My passion is empowering clients to reach their full potential, uncovering their untapped strengths and resources to increase over-all satisfaction and well-being.

If you’ve made it here it’s likely your life and relationships are not offering you all they are meant to. Perhaps you feel stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed. Maybe you’re struggling with a lIfe that doesn’t feel purposeful or a relationship in which you don’t feel honored or understood. For many, our unresolved past pains and disappointments cause chronic heartache and confusion. Making your way out of this entails embarking on a journey of self-discovery. Honoring your truest self is an essential piece in reaching your potential, having rich intimate relationships and experiencing the joy, purpose & passion of being fully alive.

Hi - Margaret Doherty here! Transitions in our lives can bring up a lot of different emotions. Some of these emotions can be conflicting if the transition “should” be happy. My work focuses on individuals and couples as they navigate through these transitions. There are ways to process it, work through it and allow you to show up authentically for yourself and your relationships. Your emotions are valid and your reactions are safety mechanisms learned through your survival of your experiences. My goal is to help you navigate through these changes, learn about yourself and build a meaningful life.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe that genuine change begins from within when you are ready to embrace it. Once you take that crucial first step, I am here to support and guide you on your therapeutic journey. My top priority is to provide a safe and welcoming environment where you can openly discuss the challenges you are facing.

Anxiety and stress are normal reactions to life's challenges. Anxiety can help us focus on solving problems or achieving success. But when anxiety begins to spiral and take over, it can be paralyzing, negatively affecting our relationships, school/career performance and mental and physical health. If you are experiencing chronic worry, panic, obsessive fears, social anxiety, stress at work/school, or marital difficulties, I can help by teaching you proven strategies to conquer your symptoms by changing negative thoughts and unhelpful behaviors. You will learn more effective coping techniques, gain back control and focus more on living a productive, happier life.

I have God, so why do I feel this way?? Just because you have your faith does not make you immune to life’s ups and downs. Anxiety and Depression are very real. It is not something you can just white-knuckle your way through. And no one expects you to. Maybe the issue is further complicated because you are struggling with an eating disorder or have a family history of depression. Whether these feelings are due to circumstances that are out of your hands or something biochemical is happening, you don’t have to figure it out alone. We are a Christian counseling practice that seeks to come along side you on this journey.
