Rafi Daugherty

Counselor

he/him

Rafi Daugherty is a Licensed Marriage and Family Counselor Candidate and a graduate of the University of Colorado, Denver. Rafi also holds a masters degree in Crisis and Trauma Studies from the University of Tel Aviv, Israel. As a couples and family therapist, Rafi has been trained to view even individuals as a part of a system and understands that people need to be seen as the whole of who they are and where they come from. Rafi enjoys working with individuals of all ages who are at any stage in the process of acknowledging, accepting, and living in their identities. Rafi utilizes relevant treatments from multiple theories but leans strongly into attachment theory and internal family systems theory. Being transparent with clients is an important aspect of the therapeutic relationship to him and thus encourages clients to stand in their truth when it does not align with his words.
