Irene M. Dougherty, M.Ed. Licensed Professional Counselor

She is an AMAZING therapist and person. I have never talked to anyone professional in my life and I am 37 yrs old. I only found Ms. Irene because my job pulled some BS on me due to my illnesses that occurred during covid-19 but I was never tested positive. Let me just share, I was referred to three therapists and had to choose one that was mandatory to keep my job that I have been at for 12 years. I have never had a disciplinary action filed against me. I contacted the very first one that was on the list. I had 2 sessions with her... I felt her and I would never understand each other because I was unable to understand her in general. I reached out to Ms Irene the same time I reached out to my first therapist. Unfortunately, I picked the one that contacted me back ASAP. Needless to say, my first therapist triggered more anxiety and stress that I already had going on in life. Ms Irene left me messages, but I told her I found someone and I apologize for wasting her time. After I spoke to my EAP(employee assistance program) social work lady. She told me I was allowed to choose another from the list. I was drawn back to Ms Irene immediately. I waited a couple days for her to squeeze me in her appointment book, but I am SO GLAD I switched. Ms Irene was very understanding of what I was going through, never judged me at any point during our session, supported me and gave me such a spiritual connection I did not want our session to end. I am sooooo looking forward to my next session with her. I only had one session, but truly believe in my gut that she is what I needed and is able to help me in my breakdown in life that I am experiencing at this time. Anyone who is searching for a TRUE and GENUINE therapist to dump your miserable life stress on...... CHOOSE Ms Irene. I will try and post more after my 2nd thru 5th session. She was a blessing in disguise that I was lucky enough to stumble backwards over for her and I to connect. I am an average Jane Doe. I am not writing a review on someone because I do not do social media in anyway shape or form. I am writing this because I know there is a lot of people in my shoes during this covid pandemic and she is worth every penny to get your life back on track with whatever stress factors you are facing.
