April Doherty, LMHC, LPC — Therapist in Massachusetts

Hi there, I'm April!

My practice focuses on helping individuals navigate and overcome anxiety and depression, particularly when these challenges arise from family dysfunction, abusive relationships, or trauma. I strive to offer a compassionate and personalized approach, creating a safe space for you to explore your feelings and work toward healing.

My focus

My work focuses on helping people recover from anxiety and depression, trauma, and the effects of family dysfunction and abusive relationships.

My approach

We will work together in a client-centered, collaborative approach to help you regain control, find peace, and face the world with confidence. I provide a compassionate and personalized approach including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Trauma-Informed Care.

My communication style

I strive to offer a compassionate and personalized approach, creating a safe space for you to explore your feelings and work toward healing. My goal is to support you in finding clarity, strength, and a path forward on your journey.

My journey to mental healthcare

Being a therapist has always been a calling for me. My early experience growing up in a chaotic environment influenced me later to want to provide awareness about mental health and trauma. I'm passionate about what I do and am honored to be part of people's healing journeys.

My goals for you

I will help you identify goals for our work together and uncover your strengths and what has worked in the past to help you build confidence in making improvements for the future.

Our first session

In our first session together, I will invite you to share what's bringing you to therapy, and if there's a specific problem or goal you'd like to address, I will ask questions to help get a brief sketch of your life story, including any previous therapy you might have had.
