Doria McGahey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
My path to becoming a mental health counselor is deeply personal. After experiencing trauma in 2010, counseling became a turning point in my life. It not only helped me heal but also gave me the confidence to return to school and pursue an entirely new career. Looking back, I feel tremendous gratitude for the growth I experienced and for the people who supported me along the way. That experience shaped the counselor I am today.
Since becoming a mental health counselor in 2019, I have been passionate about helping people navigate life's challenges with compassion, curiosity, and hope. I believe that healing is possible, even when life feels overwhelming, and that therapy can be a place where meaningful change begins.
My early professional experience includes volunteering with hospice, supporting individuals living with brain injuries and dementia, working with people facing chronic and terminal illnesses during my internship, and providing care through EvergreenHealth's In Home Mental Health program. These experiences have strengthened my appreciation for the resilience of the human spirit and deepened my commitment to helping people grow, adapt, grieve, heal, and find acceptance when life presents difficult realities.
I strive to create a safe, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and understood. Whether you're working through trauma, coping with illness, navigating life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to meet you where you are and support you in creating a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.
Outside of my work as a therapist, I'm a self-proclaimed plant nerd. I hold a bachelor's degree in Herbal Medicine, and my love of plants reflects my appreciation for growth, resilience, and the healing that can happen over time—both in nature and in ourselves.

Ariel Shearer
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA
You might find yourself caught in cycles of self-doubt or feeling unsure how to move toward the life you want. Past experiences—such as trauma, relational pain, or unmet needs—can linger, shaping how you see yourself and make sense of the world. You may also notice a tendency to judge your emotions harshly, turning frustration or blame inward and carrying a quiet sense of loneliness or disconnection.
Whether you’re navigating life transitions, exploring identity, or longing for deeper connection in your relationships, I believe therapy can illuminate paths forward. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you, supporting the growth of self-trust and opening possibilities for healing, meaning, and more authentic connection.

Vanessa Hooper
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, PMH-C
My therapeutic roots are in attachment and complex trauma, the relational wounds that shape how we move through the world and who we let close. I work with anyone navigating the layered terrain of identity and connection. For couples, I specialize in ENM and polyamorous relationships, interracial and cross-cultural partnerships, and discernment counseling for couples weighing whether to stay or go. I also work with individuals carrying complex childhood or relational trauma—the kind that doesn’t just affect how you feel, but how you attach, trust, and show up in relationships. My clients often feel caught between worlds, wanting to feel seen and understood without having to explain everything. In our work, we slow down, explore what’s happening underneath the surface, and create room for healing and growth.
