“Deanna is excellent at her job and has helped me work through years of trauma and difficult situations. I attended an "at risk" teen school over 20 years ago and she helped me process the lasting effects and darkest moments there with EMDR. Today I don't have to carry around all that emotional baggage and can live a much happier and easier life. Thank you again Deanna.”

Getting to know Deanna Doherty
Hello there! My name is Deanna, and I am so glad you are here! I am the main group therapist at the practice and have a deep love for co-creating community processing spaces. I find that groups are one of the most healing ways to process life's hardships. There is something so therapeutic about being able to share your experience in a supportive environment and hear from others who may be going through something similar. A group session with me will feel validating, warm, and supportive. I've run a variety of groups throughout my career but have a particular passion for facilitating grief spaces.
I am also an individual therapist specializing in grief, addictions, and trauma.
I graduated from Sacred Heart University with my Bachelor's in Social Work and earned my Master's in Social Work from Fordham University. I am a Licensed Master Social Worker in the state of New York and am affiliated with the National Association of Social Workers.
From a young age, I knew I wanted to be a therapist, and it has been my biggest blessing and honor to sit with clients from all walks of life. I look forward to meeting you!
What should a new client know about working with you?
Therapy should feel comfortable, safe, and something to look forward to. I make it a priority to have our sessions be individualized and unique to you. I will help to normalize whatever you are going through and be a support for you while you navigate your strengths and capabilities in therapy. I also utilize evidence based trauma practices including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy and Internal Family Systems Therapy in my work.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In our initial session I will ask you some questions about what brings you to therapy and what you would like to work on. Together, we will make a treatment plan and we can discuss what therapy modalities might work best for you. I approach therapy with warmth and a sense of humor when appropriate!
