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.

Hello, and welcome to the new wave of support in the digital age. Great work in taking the first step to find a provider who will fit your needs and beliefs. My name is Sarah Watt, and I am a licensed mental health counselor, certified clinical trauma professional, and certified sex addiction counselor. Counseling was not always the dream I had for my future however, it was my calling. People are often called to be many different things in one lifetime, but I always go back to my core: counselor, mentor, coach, and supporter. If you are looking for someone to be there along-side in this journey we call life, I am it! I began my career in Northeast Ohio first volunteering and then taking this into my studies. I received a bachelor's degree in sociology in 2003 and a master's degree in counseling in 2007 through John Carroll University. Following this, my family suffered a loss, so I relocated to Florida to be there to support them. Beautifully enough, I have since started a family of my own and planted roots personally and professionally. I opened a small private practice in 2017 which has helped many suffering from dissociative disorders, trauma, and addictions issues. My background in the field after 15 years is very diverse from inpatient hospital settings, community mental health work, residential treatment, in-school therapy, to an outpatient work setting. My heart has always been invested in helping people to lift themselves out of the worst of life circumstances or merely learn to love the life they are living and fully. Approaches to helping include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness-based practices, client centered therapy, solutions focused, relational recovery, trauma processing and attachment healing. It is both an honor and privilege to be able to work with you on your journey towards health and wellness. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions for me and my style. It is hard to gather personality from a written synopsis so I would be more than willing to video or chat by phone to ensure we are a great fit for each other. The relationship is 90% of the therapy process so let's be certain we are the right match so you can get the most out of your therapy process. Looking forward to hearing from you.
