Dave Doucette, MS, LPC, CSAC, NCC

Psychotherapist, Owner of Evolve Onward LLC

I work with all adults battling anxiety, depression, stress, substance use, life changes or transitions, relationship issues, to name a few. I have a special interest in working with adults who stutter on how to cope and continue moving forward in life despite stuttering.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Clinical Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC) in the state of Wisconsin. I have been practicing since 2013 and worked at nearly all levels of treatment including individual psychotherapy, intensive outpatient programming, partial hospitalization programming, and inpatient hospitalization care. From 2015-2022, I worked at Advocate Aurora Psychiatric Hospital in Wauwatosa, WI with adults on the inpatient hospitalization units battling mental health and/or substance use issues. In 2022, I left this hospital job to focus solely on my private practice.

I believe growth is possible at any time because your brain is like a muscle, it can be trained to change! I see people as already having strengths, skills, and knowledge that helped them get this far and can be used in therapy. I will be more like a “teammate” and “cheerleader” then your “instructor” or “boss”. I find that asking questions is more beneficial than telling you what you “should” do. My therapeutic approach is a blend of different approaches. I lean mostly on client-centered therapy with combinations of acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused brief therapy.
