About Jenna M Doherty, LMHC-D
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Getting to Know Your Therapist
Hello! Welcome to Doherty Mental Health Services. Getting to know one another is an important part of the therapeutic relationship, so let me tell you a little bit about myself.
I was born and raised in Rochester, New York. I am very familiar with all things Rochester-related, and if you know anything about Rochester, you know that there is a lot of different things that go on in this part of the state. I am a HUGE animal lover, and I especially love owls, which is one of the main reasons it is part of my logo. I currently reside in the area with my husband, our daughter, our two dogs (Maya and Cooper), and our rabbit (Reese). In my free time, I love to read (lately, it has been listening to audiobooks or podcasts), watch hockey, or watch Netflix - I am a huge true crime fan and I love stand up comedy specials!
And because all ice breakers include fun facts, a fun fact about me is that I can say the alphabet backward!
