“My counseling style is warm, non-judgmental, and interactive. Everyone deserves to be treated with empathy, compassion, and respect. I use an integrative and collaborative treatment approach, including cognitive-behavioral (CBT), client-centered, acceptance and commitment (ACT), mindfulness, narrative, and solution focused therapy. Many of us, at times, find ourselves on a path we didn’t expect or want to be on. It can be difficult to navigate challenges/stressors alone. I provide a safe space in counseling sessions to explore thoughts and emotions, clarify wishes and goals, identify strengths, and collaborate with you on charting a course toward a better you. Let’s partner together on your journey to live your best life, despite stressors and challenges!” 

Doreen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and holds a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree. She has more than 25 years of experience working together with individuals, families, and groups on life’s journey. 

“I am sincere and easy-going, working with each client to identify his or her personal wishes for changes they want to make or to see happen in their life. I allow the person who I am working with to choose the tone of the session. I am gifted with getting people to relax and feel comfortable sharing their time with me. I utilize Person Centered Therapy to determine where to start. I use a strengths-based approach and Cognitive Behavioral techniques.”

“Are you emotionally drained or struggling to keep going? Do you have worrying or negative thoughts? Maybe it stems from an unhealthy relationship or past trauma. Maybe your emotions feel too intense to manage. Or maybe you’re experiencing a recent loss or change in life. Working together, you’ll start to rediscover yourself and feel comfortable in your own skin. You’ll believe you are strong, worthy, and valued… because you are! I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space to help you take back control of your life. I use an integrative and collaborative treatment approach. Some of my favorite (and most effective) modalities include person-centered, CBT, DBT, EFT, exposure therapy, and narrative therapy. Although many of us feel scared, hesitant, or even uncertain about asking for help, I encourage you to take the first step to feeling better. You deserve it! Let’s see how we can help you reach your goals!”

Donna is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), holds a Master of Clinical Mental Health Counseling degree, and is National Board Certified (NBCC). She has been practicing therapy in Southwest Florida for 11 years and has experience working with individuals (adults and adolescents), couples, and families.

“I understand that each client is unique and work with each client to find the best way to achieve his or her goals, and thoroughly explore all treatment suggestions. Choosing counseling is usually a decision made after the client has explored other methods of resolving an issue; the goal is to find the best solution together as quickly as possible. I know that not every counselor is a good fit for each client, but my clients find that sharing their unique history and details surrounding their issues with me is easy to do. This is also true with couples in conflict. I welcome the opportunity to join you in your journey to reaching your goals.”
