West Chester, PA
Marriage & Family Therapist, PHD
Doreen Hardy, a seasoned marriage and family therapist with a PhD, LMFT, and MED, believes that individuals, couples, and families each have unique life stories and come to therapy seeking resolution for their challenges. She understands that problems do not reside solely within an individual; rather, they emerge from relationships with others, cultural contexts, illness, financial pressures, or ethical dilemmas. Clients who work with Doreen are ready to view their lives through a fresh lens, allowing them to explore the landscapes of their past and present, and either create new narratives or rediscover hidden strengths that can bolster their well-being. She values therapeutic collaboration and encourages clients to engage actively in the process. With over 50 years of meditation experience and 30 years teaching yoga, Doreen appreciates the profound benefits of these practices. She integrates psychotherapy with body/mind techniques to foster client growth and progress. Doreen emphasizes the importance of mindful awareness and non-judgmental curiosity in therapeutic work. Additionally, she recognizes that sexuality plays a crucial role in overall health and well-being and has focused her doctoral research on the challenges surrounding discussions of taboo subjects. She asserts that while sex therapy is often intertwined with relational issues, the solutions clients find can also resonate across various dimensions of their lives.
