Inner Resource Counseling is a group practice serving Bethlehem & the Lehigh Valley area. Our focus is on acting as therapeutic supports in assisting people in improving their lives by gaining personal insights about themselves and making healthier choices in problematic times, allowing for positive change to occur in life.

Are you seeking treatment, but finding it very difficult? The decision to seek treatment is often very difficult, yet a necessary choice. For the last 28 years I have been providing a non-judgmental arena to work on a variety of issues to include but not limited to addiction, anger, gambling, co-occurring disorders, behavioral concerns, depression and anxiety.

I believe my non-judgmental and warm demeanor allows people to feel at ease and more willing to share issues that lead them to seek counsel. While I am trained in counseling theories and techniques, I believe using the Bible as the fundamental guide in exploring the emotions that often paralyze our daily lives and relationships. Self reflection, forgiveness, effective communications, healthy boundaries and expectations all play a role in finding a sense of peace within ourselves and our relationships.

You may be struggling with stress, relationships, depression, anxiety, loss and grief, parenting or family challenges, teen conflict, anger. You may have ADHD, unresolved trauma, health concerns, low self esteem/confidence, addiction. I have had much success over the years, working with individuals, couples, and families of all ages and backgrounds. I hear your story, and provide consistent support and guidance with compassion and no judgment. Together we get to the roots of your core issues and work on ways for you to heal. Get your self - and your life - back.

I have my masters degree in clinical mental health counseling. I focus on acting as a therapeutic support in assisting people in improving their lives by gaining personal insights about themselves. My goal is to help clients gain stability and manageability over their underlying problems that impeded on them being a productive member of society. I help clients to develop healthy coping skills and raise level of functioning as well as satisfaction.

As a person-centered therapist, my goal is to assist clients using an empathetic approach that empowers and motivates the client in the therapeutic process. Each individual has the capacity and desire for personal growth and change. It is learning to recognize and trust human potential, providing clients with empathy and unconditional positive regard to help facilitate change. In therapy sessions, there will be support offered, guidance, and structure so the client can discover personalized solutions within themselves. I also offer Reiki sessions.

If you're looking for fluff free, no nonsense counseling, reach out to me. It's all too easy to lose touch with the things we stand for, as well as with the things that mean most to us. You were whole at one point, which means a path to sanity exists that is waiting to be rediscovered. Yet these behaviors holding you back have been heavily reinforced over time. The change ahead is not going to be easy or comfortable, but you don't have to face it alone. Past clients have told me that my ability to break down situations and clearly explain relational dynamics helped them to gain new insight into their histories and functioning.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in holistic health and energy healing.

As noted by the award-winning nationally and regionally recognized correspondent, 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, Jim points out that Dougherty "provides a client-centered approach....and I love when I hear that phrase, client-centered ....its all about you, its not one size fits all, it's tailored to you..."

Everyone faces difficulties in life, and in a safe and caring environment it is possible to navigate these challenges as they are presented. I combine my background in teaching along with training in trauma work to help adolescents, teens, and adults through these difficulties. I strive to empower, instill hope, and process the past as it relates to present behaviors and beliefs.

Everyone has struggles in life especially with these isolating times during the pandemic.

An important part of the therapeutic relationship is finding the right therapist for each individual. While establishing an engaging patient client relationship, I can provide tools to assist and manage these challenges.
