Welcome, I am glad you're here.Hi, my name is Doria McGahey, a licensed mental health counselor. Life can be challenging and maybe you are here because you are finding it difficult to navigate things on your own. It's hard to ask for help and you're here, so that is the first step. Let me tell you a little bit about who I am and what I do.

​ 

As  a mental health counselor I specialize in working with adults facing issues like anxiety, depression, past traumatic experiences (PTSD), panic attacks, phobias, and women's issues. Are you experiencing something like this? Is it  impacting your mood, self-esteem, health, sleep, work, relationships, or how you are showing up in your life? Maybe you are feeling stuck, you've read the self-help books, and listened to the podcasts but haven't been able to make the changes that you want to make.

​

In therapy, we will work together to help you reach your goals. Talk therapy is part of the work we will do woven in with modalities like EMDR Therapy (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Ego-states interventions, and ACT Therapy (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy).  You may be familiar with these modalities but if they are new to you check out the therapies used section to learn more.

​

In our work together, we will spend time clarifying what is meaningful to you, find the areas where we need to work and create a plan to help you reach your goals. We will work on self-discovery, explore changes in life roles, work on skills building, and exploration and understanding of emotions and learning skills to help regulate emotions. There may be behaviors that were helpful in the past but are no longer serving you or past experiences or belief systems that continue to inform how you feel about yourself or how you behave in the present.

​

Therapy is a process, it's hard work but it can lead to growth, change, and healing.  If you are ready to start that process and to start making the changes to help you live your best life  Schedule a consultation
