I am a licensed psychologist with over 30 years of experience providing treatment to adults presenting with a range of mental health difficulties, in outpatient, inpatient and institutional settings. I specialize in treating depressive and anxiety disorders, utilizing cognitive behavioural and
psychodynamic/psychoanalytic treatment modalities, when this looks like it would be useful to the patient. Basically, we would acknowledge distressful feelings such as depression, anxiety or anger, but then explore the history of what thoughts and ideas may be contributing to these feelings, with the idea that these thoughts may not be completely accurate and need to be reexamined in therapy, giving a client the opportunity to reframe rules and ideas to have a more useful and productive way to interact with problematic people and situations. Additional areas of experience include couples therapy and dealing with sexual dysfunctions and disorders, and sexual identity concerns.
Navigating interrelational issues, major life transitions and negative self-image can be incredibly challenging. You deserve a therapist who understands your unique experiences and provides the support you need to foster meaningful change. Together, we can explore effective coping strategies and work towards building a healthier self-image while addressing the complexities of your relationships.
I specialize in personalized, evidence-based therapy that focuses on your specific needs. My approach is empathetic and tailored to help you navigate the intricacies of life’s transitions, enhance your self-worth, and improve your relationships.
If you’re facing the challenges of interrelational dynamics, struggling with a negative self-image, or dealing with significant life changes, know that your journey matters. Reach out today, and let’s work together to facilitate positive transformations in your life.
Hi, I’m so glad you’re here!
As a first-generation therapist and woman of color, I understand the challenges of balancing mental health with identity, cultural expectations, and life transitions. I work with adolescents, young adults, and emerging professionals facing anxiety, stress, low mood, burnout, academic pressure, and relationship or family challenges.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and personalized, blending CBT, ACT, strengths-based, and culturally responsive care. I’m LGBTQIA+ affirming and experienced with BIPOC and first-generation clients. You don’t have to have it all figured out—I’m here to walk alongside you as you grow, helping you build coping skills, explore your emotions, and reconnect with your true self in a safe, supportive space.
Are you feeling depressed, anxious, depleted, or like you are simply going through the motions, in an endless effort to support those around you? Are you and your partner struggling with issues around communication, intimacy, infertility, or infidelity?
If you are encountering any of these issues, then I commend you for taking the first courageous step toward exploring your therapeutic options.
I use an integrated therapeutic approach grounded in psychodynamic, existential, and cognitive-behavioral theories. Together we will customize your treatment to reflect your values, needs and worldview. We all experience pain and suffering at some point in our lives. However, none of us should have to endure these challenges alone. It is vital to have a strong support system, and I hope to offer you a safe, nonjudgmental space where we can together navigate any stressors, feelings of overwhelm, or trauma in a way that helps you feel supported and promotes a sense of peace and well-being.
With a background in Marriage and Family Counseling/Therapy and specialized training in Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and the Gottman Method, I work with individuals, couples, and families to explore their unique stories. I have experience helping juveniles displaying problem sexual behaviors, guiding families through difficult conversations, and assisting couples in rebuilding trust and intimacy. Using an approach rooted in Narrative, Contextual Family, and Multigenerational Family Therapy, I help clients untangle past experiences, improve communication, and develop more fulfilling relationships.
Seeking support is a courageous step, and I am here to meet you where you are with compassion and understanding. Together, we can create a path forward—one that aligns with your values and helps you foster deeper, more meaningful connections. If you’re ready to begin this journey, I invite you to reach out. You don’t have to navigate this alone.
I believe in using a holistic and collaborative approach to create a welcoming environment for you to feel safe in sharing your thoughts and goals, which we can work toward together. I specialize in psychoeducation, person-centered therapy, humanistic psychology, positive psychology, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
Throughout my career, I have specialized in working with adults experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, symptoms related to past trauma, ADHD, ASD, grief and loss, as well as individuals with chronic illness, and people who identify as neurodivergent or LGBTQIA+. I am excited to work with you in helping you through life’s challenges and difficulties as well as empowering you to achieve your goals and bring out the best version of yourself.
“I start seeing Douglas puchko shortly after being diagnosed as asd amongst other issues. Seeing him through this service has been transformative to my life, and while I still have a decently long road ahead of me i know that I am better for having started this path. Douglas is a fantastic therapist and a kind person. I fully recommend this fellow whole heartedly.”
