"Things do not change, we change."
-Henry David Thoreau
Making the decision to work on ourselves is not easy. Well done on taking this step, whether it is your first or your hundredth! The important piece is that we keep taking steps….
My name is Meghan Doherty and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York State. I have a graduate degree in clinical social work from New York University. I have been practicing for seven years in the modalities of individual psychotherapy, family psychotherapy, and group psychotherapy.
Three things I believe wholeheartedly: One, I believe that YOU ARE THE EXPERT of your own life. Two, I believe that our life experiences are powerful tools, which we can use to solve many of our current challenges. Three, I believe that our challenges are temporary barriers to us living the fuller, freer, and more joyous lives that are within our reach.
My style of therapy combines techniques, practices, and interventions derived from Cognitive-Behavioral, Psychodynamic, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused theories. I specialize in treating emotional and behavioral symptoms associated with Depression, Anxiety, Anger, Stress, and Frustration. I have much experience working with individuals who are struggling with Unhealthy Relationships, Family Conflicts, Trauma, and Loss. I also have assisted many parents and caregivers with developing Effective Parenting Strategies, as well as coping with and caring for loved ones with Developmental Disabilities. Therapy sessions are conducted via videoconferencing, email, and telephone depending on your needs and preferences.
I am very much looking forward to meeting you, learning more about you, and learning from you! Together we can work toward helping you achieve the changes and the life that you are seeking.
Additional areas of focus: LGBT, Grief, Parenting issues, Anger management, Self esteem, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder
