About Jenna Doherty, LMHC-D
Getting to Know Your Therapist
Welcome to Doherty Mental Health Services! Building a strong connection is an important part of the therapeutic process, so here’s a little about me.
I was born and raised in Rochester, New York, and know the area - and its many unique quirks - inside and out. I’m a lifelong animal lover (owls hold a special place in my heart, which is why you’ll spot one in my logo) and share my home with my husband, our toddler, two dogs (Maya and Cooper), and our rabbit, Reese.
Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy reading, listening to audiobooks or podcasts, watching hockey, and relaxing with watching something on Netflix or Hulu. I also love wellness activities like the infrared sauna, cold plunge, and red light & color therapies. When I can, I like to attend concerts, travel, and spend quality time with family and friends. And for a fun fact - because no icebreaker is complete without one - I can recite the alphabet backward!
Educational Background
