Meet Aaron Dougherty, a dedicated Substance Use Counselor at JADE Wellness Center's Monroeville location. Joining our team nearly three years ago, Aaron has made a profound impact on the lives of countless individuals seeking recovery. With a master's degree in clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Licensed Professional Counselor, he brings both expertise and a compassionate approach to his work at JADE. Aaron conducts individual, group and family therapy sessions, develops personalized treatment plans, and collaborates with a multidisciplinary team to ensure comprehensive care for each client on his caseload. His ability to create a safe and trusting environment encourages open communication, allowing individuals to feel supported as they navigate their recovery journey. In his own words, Aaron shares, "It may sound cliché, but I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't want to help others. For the past ten years, I have been working in various treatment settings throughout the city of Pittsburgh which is my hometown. I work hard to de-stigmatize addiction and mental health, recognizing that addiction often occurs when too many "eggs" are placed in one basket, while all humans seek sensation in different ways. I strive to create an individualized approach to therapy because I believe that one size does not fit all. This personalized approach, I've found, works exceptionally well for my clients at JADE." Outside of work, Aaron enjoys watching movies of all genres, sometimes likes to do something artistic, and appreciates trying new foods and places to travel. Aaron Dougherty embodies the essence of our treatment program. His dedication and commitment to individuals on their journey through recovery makes him an invaluable part of the JADE team. We are honored to highlight Aaron this month for his remarkable contributions and the positive influence he has had on so many lives. Thank you, Aaron, for your unwavering commitment and passion! #MeetTheTeam #JadeWellness #Pittsburgh #WeDoRecover
