William Dougherty, LPC

William Dougherty, LPC

Psychotherapist
4647 Saucon Creek Rd 201, Upper Saucon Township, PA
As noted by the award-winning nationally and regionally recognized correspondent, television and radio host Jim Masters (of PBS and Close-Up Talk Radio), "effective therapy requires a combination of compassion, skill set and education level, as well as a safe environment in order for clients to share their feelings," and "nowhere is that more true" than with Bill Dougherty. Furthermore, Jim points out that "Bill provides a client-centered approach... and I love when I hear that phrase, client-centered... it's all about you, it's not one size fits all, it's tailored to you." I decided to return to school to pursue a degree in psychology, earning my Bachelor's from Arcadia University and my Master's in Psychology from La Salle University. I have been in the mental health field since 1998, working for organizations such as Special Equestrians as a side aid volunteer assisting people with physical and/or mental health disabilities, and Lenape Valley Foundation as both a house advisor and a Partial Hospital Program group therapist for people with severe and persistent mental illness. I also worked for Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia for their Narcotic Addict Rehabilitation Program, where I was a counselor for people addicted to heroin. More recently, I worked for Catholic Charities in NJ as a therapist for the Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program, working with kids diagnosed with substance abuse or dependence, as well as a clinical supervisor for the Comprehensive Family Treatment of Addictions Program (CFTA). This led to my role as Program Director for CFTA, the Therapeutic After-School Program (a therapeutic group for kids ages 8-12), and an in-home therapy/case management program, while also carrying a small direct-service caseload at my private practice. William Dougherty is a Licensed Professional Counselor, license number 37PC00408700.

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.
