Dennis Daugherty, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Dennis!

I have been providing psychotherapy to adults, children, and families who want to improve their lives and overcome difficult life situations.

My focus

I specialize in working with individuals with anxiety, PTSD, depression, and trauma. I also work with couples and families to improve their relationships.

My approach

I use CBT and DBT with a solution-focused approach to aid clients in improving their lives. I provide clients with weekly homework to achieve their treatment goals.

My communication style

I am straightforward and direct. I use homework to aid clients in overcoming difficulties.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have been sought out my entire life by others for help in resolving internal conflicts. I was touched by suicide and worked in suicide prevention as a volunteer. I enjoy working with others and aiding individuals to find inner strength and overcome anxiety, depression, and trauma.

My goals for you

I encourage clients to express their interpersonal goals, and we agree upon goals for therapeutic services.

Our first session

I will be on time, prepared, and thorough in my assessment of your needs. You can expect to be informed of your diagnosis at the end of our first session.
