Therapists in Florida

I’m Joelle Doherty, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I have been licensed and working in the mental health and substance abuse field for twenty years. I have worked in a range of environments, including community mental health centers, partial hospitalization programs, inpatient psychiatric units, and college counseling centers. I earned my B.S. at the University of Florida, with a major in Psychology, and an M.S. in Counseling Psychology from Northeastern University, in Boston. I believe that everyone can use an objective and non-judgmental person to listen to them and assist them in working through issues and patterns that often keep us from feeling happy and satisfied with our lives. I provide a positive and supportive environment and utilize strategies from different modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioral, client-centered, supportive, and Mindfulness interventions. My outlook as a counselor is strength-based, and I believe in building on one’s strengths, while recognizing one’s weaknesses, in order to reach one’s full potential.

Over the 20 years I have been working with individuals providing services, I have found therapy is about facilitating conversations to help someone build self-awareness and healthier relationships with oneself and others. The experience of watching an individual grow beyond their current mindset of sadness, depression, feelings of hopelessness or unworthiness into an individual who truly knows and believes in their personal value is why I love therapy. I have experience working with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, as well as survivors of domestic violence. I have also supervised a number of therapists and direct care providers so I have first-hand experience in helping caregivers be successful while also practicing good self-care strategies. Clients often describe me as easy to talk to, down to earth, and compassionate. I have a great sense of humor and an open mind which allows me to quickly connect with others and create a safe therapeutic environment. My natural positive energy helps my clients improve their lives by developing better cognitive and emotional skills. I understand that the idea of starting therapy can be full of anxiety – after all, you are making a decision to start a new path for yourself! Change – even positive change – can be stressful. However, I am glad that you are feeling empowered to take your first step towards personal growth with me. I am looking forward to working together!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida and have been providing therapy since 2012. I have had the pleasure of working with many populations, including inpatient, psychosocial rehabilitation, private practice, substance abuse treatment programs, and correctional facilities. I have a passion for working with people that have experienced trauma, and utilize EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy regularly, along with other various modalities of treatment, including CBT and DBT, to best assist patients in feeling safe, secure, and loved. I am very down to earth. I understand how life can throw curve balls and appreciate the courage that my clients have in tackling these issues head on. I am humbled daily by the people that I work with in the best of ways. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one that is very individual to each person, and our treatment plans will be tailored to that individuality. I look forward to working with you and assisting on your healing journey!
