Paul Dohearty, LPC, MA

What I Offer

I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where adults, couples, and polycules can explore the deeply personal challenges that affect their emotional well-being, identity, and relationships. Whether you’re wrestling with sexuality, navigating a difficult relationship, coping with trauma, or trying to manage anxiety or depression, I walk with you step by step toward clarity, courage, and growth.

My therapeutic style is both holistic and grounded in lived experience. I integrate academic knowledge with personal insight to help you move from stuckness toward a more authentic, peaceful life. My goal is to help you feel truly seen and understood—and to support you in making meaningful, sustainable changes.

Why Choose Paul

• Lived Experience Meets Clinical Expertise: I bring both professional training and personal understanding to our work together. I’ve been where many of my clients are—and I’ve walked the path of change myself.
• Holistic, Client-Centered Approach: I tailor therapy to your unique situation and needs. Together, we create a plan that feels realistic, respectful, and empowering.
• A Safe Place to Be Yourself: You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need a willingness to begin. I provide a welcoming space where you can bring your full self—uncertainties, fears, hopes, and all.
