Welcome!

The most complex question I get is, "What do you do?"

I'm a mom, wife, web consultant, writer, therapy website marketer, public speaker, connector, webmaster, business manager, and natural networker. My most public works have been writing for the Networker Magazine in their Nov '09 issue (topic was on launching my husbands private practice through free internet marketing techniques) and the next article comes out Sept '10, focusing on "the internet as therapist ally."

As the daughter of Bill Doherty, Ph.D., LMFT, I've access to a broad range of great people in the mental health profession. After more than a decade "in the real world" I'll be entering the therapy profession hopefully in the fall of 2011.

The goal of this website is threefold:

Be myself. Not a marketer or consultant or business manager to all my various websites. (All the good stuff about therapy websites and marketing is at Thomas Consultation.)

Share my thoughts on a wide variety of topics.

Share websites I find interesting, or tools that you may find useful. Funny, informational, even writing that I would be honored if you copied for your website.

Marriage crisis or need a tune up? Marriage Friendly Therapists for marriage counselors or good book recommendations. I run this website and we're always looking for more Marriage Friendly Therapists across the nation.

Great quote:

I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community... and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for a moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
George Bernard Shaw, Irish Playwright (Energize)
