Our Approach to Psychotherapy
We go beyond talk therapy.
Something brought you here — maybe it's been building for a while, or maybe everything shifted at once. Either way, you're in the right place.
Shifting Tides Therapy is a trauma-informed psychotherapy practice offering virtual therapy in New York, Connecticut, and Florida. We work with individuals and couples navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, life transitions, and more — using evidence-based approaches that meet you in the body, not just the mind. You will be supported, seen, and truly cared for here. No exceptions.
We offer the gold standard of evidence-based, trauma-informed care, grounded in clinical excellence and affirming of all identities and stories.
Meet Our Founder:
Deanna Doherty, LCSW
Hi, I'm Deanna — founder of Shifting Tides Therapy and a licensed clinical social worker specializing in trauma, grief, and anxiety. This practice was built from lived experience. It reflects the ebb and flow of life, the moments that reshape us, and a deep belief that healing happens when you finally feel safe, seen, and supported.
Therapy shouldn't feel cold or clinical. We're a team of experienced, trauma-informed therapists in New York, Connecticut, and Florida who offer compassionate, evidence-based care for people ready to do real work. And if you've ever thought "therapy isn't for me" — you probably just haven't found the right fit yet.
Throughout my career I've helped people move through grief, trauma, anxiety, and addiction. When you work with me virtually, you will be supported, seen, and truly cared for. No exceptions.
Psychotherapy Services in New York, Connecticut & Florida
At Shifting Tides Therapy, we're committed to making quality psychotherapy accessible, which is why we offer sliding scale pricing. Like most private practices, we operate as an out-of-network provider and don’t take insurance directly. This allows us to focus fully on your needs without the restrictions that often come with insurance. That said, we are happy to help you navigate your out-of-network benefits so you can get the most reimbursement possible. Sliding scale rates are based on your current financial situation, and we’ll work together to find a fee that feels fair and manageable for you.
To estimate what you might get reimbursed, you can use our reimbursement calculator here to check your out-of-network benefits. Please note that below estimate is based on each clinician's full fee, and will look different for sliding scale pricing:
