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.

Leslie Daugherty

Leslie Daugherty

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 8.3 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 • 8.1 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.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Scottsdale

Finding the right therapist in Scottsdale starts with getting clear on what kind of support you're looking for. Providers on Headway specialize in a wide range of concerns — from anxiety, depression, and trauma to relationship challenges and life transitions. Whether you're looking for a licensed professional counselor (LPC), clinical social worker (LCSW), psychologist, or psychiatrist for medication management, you can review detailed provider bios to learn about their approach, specialties, and what to expect in a session.

With 1937 therapists practicing in the Scottsdale area, narrowing your options can take time. Consider what matters most to you — a provider who specializes in a specific concern, someone who offers virtual sessions you can attend from home, or a therapist located near your neighborhood. A free phone consultation can also help you decide if a provider is the right fit before you commit to a session.

Therapy in Scottsdale can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session, and many people pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to see estimated session costs upfront, so you know what to expect before you book.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
