Patricia Delougherty, LMSW

Navigating the world of locating a therapist can be difficult and tiring. However, taking that step forward for oneself is built on strength and resilience that is not taken lightly. I understand and hold a great amount of respect for clients entering this journey where they have the strength to share that vulnerability and honesty, as it is not an easy task to do. The therapeutic relationship is important and built upon a place of trust and nonjudgement. There is a collaboration that therapy holds, allowing for self determination and a pace allowed by the client. This therapeutic relationship is important to me and to the progress of healing. 

I am a licensed Master of Social Work with over 25 years of experience in this field. I work primarily with adults throughout all stages of life. I work in helping individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions. 

My approach to therapy is a collaborative, strength-based approach both client centered and goal oriented. I strive to create a supportive and non-judgmental space where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Incorporating elements of evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, trauma-informed therapy, I work with the client to build goals, coping skills, and self-awareness. As well as processing past experiences, and developing healthier patterns, with the goal of establishing meaningful change in their lives.
