I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, but honestly, my credentials are just the beginning. What I bring to every session is genuine care and the understanding that getting here probably wasn't simple — most people have been struggling quietly for longer than they'd like to admit. So if you're reading this, I want you to know: reaching out was brave, and you're in a safe place to grow.

I believe that healing happens within the context of community and connection. My journey in social work began in 2015, and since then, I have had the privilege of walking alongside families and individuals in their most vulnerable moments. From my early days as a parent educator and working within child protective services to my recent years in community mental health, I have seen firsthand the incredible strength of the human spirit.

Leslie Daugherty

Leslie Daugherty

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 16 mi away • Phoenix, AZ


I primarily work with women who are feeling emotionally drained, stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, or who no longer recognize who they used to be. Many women I work with grew up learning to prioritize others’ needs, manage everyone else’s emotions, and silence their own. Over time, this can lead to relationships that are never quite fulfilling and create a constant sense of self-doubt or exhaustion. I support clients with strengthening their confidence, building their self-worth and ability to trust themselves, and to be able to create relationships that feel safe with healthier emotional boundaries.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 16 mi away • Phoenix, AZ


Hello! I'm Brigett and I'm accepting new clients.

Taking the first step toward healing can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to walk this path alone. I am a dedicated therapist passionate about helping individuals process trauma, navigate complex emotions, and reclaim their inner strength. In our work together, we won’t just talk about what’s happening in your mind—we will look at the whole picture. I specialize in nervous system regulation, helping you move out of constant survival mode (like feeling perpetually anxious, overwhelmed, or shut down) and back into a state of safety and balance.

My goal is to create a warm, collaborative, and entirely judgment-free space where you feel truly heard. Together, we will uncover the why behind your patterns, giving you the insights and practical tools you need to feel deeply empowered and connected to your true self.

How we can connect: I currently offer flexible, convenient virtual sessions so you can begin your healing journey from the comfort of your home. Starting in July, I will be welcoming clients for in-person sessions [Phoenix @ Northern/51] on Fridays.

Wherever you are starting from today, please know that healing is possible, and you are entirely capable of it. I look forward to supporting you.
