Aaron Dougherty, M.S., LPC, NCC

---

My approach is lively, collaborative, and integrative, grounded in 10 years of experience supporting clients in therapeutic settings since 2015, providing direct counseling services in co-occurring residential programs and outpatient programs since 2019. I have been licensed in the state of PA since 2024. 

I believe therapy doesn’t have to be cold or one-size-fits-all. My style is engaging, honest, and deeply integrative—drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), mindfulness practices, and humanistic therapies to support both short-term growth and long-term change. My approach to therapy is culturally sensitive and socially aware. Whether you’re seeking a focused 6–8 session series or a deeper therapeutic process.

 My goal and vision for Aeros is to co-create a space that feels purposeful and personal—where we’re not just talking about symptoms, but building on strengths, honoring identity, and developing tools to support strength in coping with life stressors. My hope is that when one someone is around me they feel an essence of celebration  and empowerment to be themselves. I’m here to help you navigate life’s challenges with warmth, humor, and humanistic science.
