Leslie Daugherty

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 7 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.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

My approach to care integrates psychotherapy with medication management. I provide therapy for patients whose psychiatric medications I also manage, allowing for a coordinated and personalized treatment plan that supports both emotional and medical aspects of mental health.

With over 20 years of experience as a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner and now as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I am deeply committed to delivering compassionate, comprehensive care tailored to each individual’s unique needs. My approach integrates physical and mental health to support the whole person.

I specialize in:

  • Mental health evaluations and medication management
  • Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for substance use disorders
  • Gender-affirming hormone therapy

I am dedicated to creating a safe, respectful space where all individuals feel heard, supported, and empowered on their journey to wellness.

Sleep is one of the most vital components of both mental and physical well-being. I’m passionate about helping people improve their sleep quality through evidence-based, personalized care. I provide in-depth diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of sleep disorders, with a special focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)—the gold standard, non-medication approach to treating chronic insomnia. Whether you're struggling to fall asleep, stay asleep, or wake up feeling refreshed, I’m here to help you reclaim restful, restorative sleep.

You can contact me at [email protected] with questions.
