Getting to know Chris Dougherty
As a husband and father of five, I deeply understand the joys and challenges of family life. My journey to becoming a counselor was a personal one, born from a desire to help others navigate life's complexities. I earned my Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University, which equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support individuals and families effectively.
While my background as a mechanical engineer instilled in me a strong work ethic and problem-solving abilities, I discovered a deeper calling in helping people find their way. I believe in a collaborative approach, where I actively listen to understand your unique needs and challenges.
Drawing on a diverse range of therapeutic techniques, I strive to provide practical and effective solutions that empower you to live a more fulfilling life. Whether you're facing individual struggles, relationship difficulties, or family challenges, I am committed to walking alongside you on your journey of growth and healing.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My hope is that you will leave each session with a direction and plan that you are confident in accomplishing. To do this I will work alongside of you through the process. I believe you are here not because you cannot handle what you are struggling with but because you are still working on the tools to address these concerns. My overall goal is through working together and building upon your success during our session that at completion of service that you will have completed your goals and with the tools you have learned you can navigate through many other struggles without feeling overwhelmed and feeling confident and satisfied about yourself.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Chris’ profile stood out because he is a family man and a man of faith, and I thought he would be someone who could make my husband comfortable with couples counseling, and I was right! He can quote scripture just as quickly as he can give us a baseball analogy and knows when we need each. He’s straightforward in a way that feels constructive and never critical, and keeps us focused on the bigger picture when we start to veer off course. It’s truly a blessing to get to work with him
