About Kristin Doherty, LCSW

Psychotherapist, Founder of Pacific Cove Psychotherapy

I believe that meaningful change happens when we are truly seen, when our past is honored with care, and when we are supported in becoming who we are meant to be.”

Welcome to Pacific Cove Psychotherapy. I’m Kristin Doherty, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with the Board of Behavioral Sciences in the state of California (License #133696). With nearly 20 years of experience in the field, I am deeply passionate about helping people become the best versions of themselves.

My clinical training was received through the Department of Veteran’s Affairs where I gained extensive experience in providing evidence based psychotherapy to individuals and couples. My training leans heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with emphasis on trauma informed, strengths based and attachment focused perspectives. My approach is deeply humanistic, rooted in compassion, honesty and integrity.

Training: CBT, CPT, IBCT, CBCT

Education: Master of Social Work, New Mexico State University 2011, Master of Criminal Justice, New Mexico State University 2006
