I am a dedicated and compassionate mental health professional with 20 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s most challenging experiences. My work focuses on trauma, familial relationships, mental health disorders, and personal growth, with a deep commitment to creating a safe and empowering space for each client.
Throughout my career, I have specialized in areas including anxiety, depression, PTSD, personality disorders, relationship challenges, and life transitions, among others. I utilize evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches to help clients process past experiences, build coping skills, and achieve meaningful and sustainable change. I also provide support for complex issues such as abuse recovery, grief, parenting challenges, and navigating identity and relational dynamics.
I am passionate about helping clients cultivate resilience, self-awareness, and emotional well-being. My goal is to empower individuals to move beyond patterns that limit their growth, restore connection in their relationships, and develop the tools to thrive in their personal and professional lives. I approach each client with empathy, professionalism, and a focus on individualized care tailored to their unique journey.

My practice is built on the belief that a safe, non-judgmental space is the ultimate catalyst for change. Here, we move at your pace, trading 'shoulds' for self-compassion. Together, we’ll navigate your unique story with a blend of professional expertise and genuine human connection, ensuring you feel seen, heard, and empowered to lead a more authentic life.

Amira Doucette
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, LLP, NCC
I've exclusively practiced telehealth since 2015, and have been a psychotherapist for over 25 years. During this time, I've been fortunate enough to have worked with clients from all over the world. As I've helped with their concerns, I repeatedly find the single most important conduit to change is the relationship we forge in therapy. In this relationship I am without judgment: I am respectful, understanding, and accepting.
