Working with Donna

PSYCHOTHERAPY AND COUNSELING

A message from Donna about your first session—One of the most difficult things about the counseling process is coming to someone you don’t know, and not knowing what it will be like. When you can do this, the hardest work is done because you have said to your unconscious mind “I am committed to change for the best for myself and/or my family”. I respect the courage it takes to begin the healing process and have made my commitment to bring to you whatever skills, processes and tools that will help your journey be a successful one. If I am not the very best therapist for you, I will help you find someone who can be.

What it might be like—The session is about 50 minutes long. If you are using an insurance provider, you will need to bring your insurance card. You may need to call your provider to find out if you have a deductible, as that may affect the out of pocket cost of your therapy. Remember if you are using your insurance, your insurance company has the right to your information regarding your therapy if they should request it. Visa and MC are also accepted.

Some of the therapeutic modalities that Donna uses

EMDR is a proven integrative method of reprocessing traumatic events. Any negative emotional pattern or behavior can be transformed into a new healthy pattern of living that can make life work better. Donna is skilled and trained in using EMDR with children, adults, and couples to heal from trauma and to strengthen skills necessary to enjoy life.

Biofeedback—Computerized images, sounds or lights can feedback to you instantaneously, your body-mind’s experience, teaching you how to choose what emotional and physiological states you want to live with. No longer do you have to be a victim to old patterns of stress and anxiety.
