Sam Dougherty,
MSSW, LCSW
I have been a practicing therapist for over 5 years, graduating from the Kent School of Social Work at the University of Louisville in 2021. Before opening my current practice, I was a transition-age youth therapist in a local community mental health organization, specializing in 18-26 year olds. Through the experience, I became especially interested in men’s issues, ranging from loneliness to social media addiction. I am also skilled in trauma therapy, with extensive experience utilizing EMDR to treat issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder.
Outside of my practice, I am currently a doctoral candidate at the University of Louisville, where I study facilitators and barriers in treatment-resistant populations. My research interests include inceldom, social media usage, and radicalization.
