As a therapist, I have been in private practice for 26 years. I work with adolescents, adults and families. I practice primarily with solution-focused, short term therapy to help aid in empowerment and healing. I utilize life coaching/career building to help adult clients deal with difficult transitions in current day employment. The solution based focused therapies tend to help those dealing with current life stressors. I utilize Sandtray Therapy help people express themselves without needing words. It can be an effective way to help people cope with trauma, depression and anxiety.

As noted by award-winning and nationally recognized television and radio host Jim Masters (of PBS and Close-Up Talk Radio), "effective therapy requires a combination of compassion, skill set, and education level, as well as a safe environment in order for clients to share their feelings", and "nowhere is that more true than with Bill Dougherty." Furthermore, Masters points out that Dougherty "provides a client-centered approach...and I love it when I hear that phrase, client centered, it's about you, not one size fits all, it's tailored to you". I provide services in both PA (office or Telehealth) and New Jersey (Telehealth only).

Experiencing trauma seems to be a part of everyone's life at some point. In my 23 years of experience, I have seen that trauma and chronic stress often lead to, or exacerbate, feelings of depression, anxiety or being "stuck." Being specialty-trained, open-minded and client-needs driven, at MTC, we are able to adeptly challenge clients while also re-building their hope and sense of worthiness so that they may feel good and safe while moving past their comfort zones. (NOTE: Please see the website for my staff's bios. Currently accepting insurances & self-pay clients).

The stress, the overthinking, the endless to-do lists, the pressure to hold it all together… it’s exhausting. Maybe you're juggling work, relationships, parenting, or just trying to function while feeling overwhelmed. And let’s not even talk about the emotional baggage that keeps showing up when you least expect it.

I believe that listening is crucial in counseling; listening not just to words, but also for feelings. Sometimes people seek therapy to clarify their thoughts and emotions; or they may be looking for specific strategies to find relief from worry or sadness, or for help with a relationship. My experience and training in multiple modes of psychotherapy allows me to help people with these concerns. While starting counseling may seem scary, it can be the first step toward feeling happier and less worried.
