Doyle DeGraw, LMHC, LPC

Doyle DeGraw is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey who works to help people move beyond limitations shaped by fear, anxiety, and self-doubt. With more than 10 years as a licensed counselor and over 50 years of pastoral experience, he brings a steady, practical presence to therapy that balances challenge and encouragement while focusing on tools that support meaningful change.

He often views struggles such as addictions, eating disorders, and relationship difficulties through the lens of relational trauma. When it is helpful, he supports clients in exploring family-of-origin experiences to identify patterns and triggers that may be connected to current concerns, and to build new ways of responding.

Doyle’s work is integrative, person-centered, and strength-based, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Christian counseling. He enjoys working with individuals and couples and tends to communicate in a straightforward, direct style. Together, he and his clients focus on creating an effective plan for coping with life challenges and addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, parenting and family issues, and relational strain. He also helps people navigate grief and a range of ambiguous losses, such as job changes, adult children leaving home, or the shifting demands that can come with a partner’s medical challenges.
