Therapists in 99516

I draw on my years in the worlds of holistic, hospital, and international medicine, Somatic Experiencing (SE) and co-regulating touch therapies, deep wilderness, midwifery, refugee/asylum work, and lived practice in many spiritual traditions in order to collaborate with clients and uncover their authentic, often surprising, resilience.

Every person's journey is unique and requires a tailored approach to meet your personal goals in an efficient and effective manner. The journey of unwinding the dark & twisty and exploring your full potential allows more capacity too curate and embody your best self. I integrate evidence-based therapeutic approaches that provide a holistic framework for trauma recovery and personal growth. I am currently working under the supervision of Tami Lubitsh, PsyD, licensed psychologist.

I’m licensed as a professional counselor. I work with adults experiencing a wide array of difficulties, such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, eating disorders, grief, conflict, etc.

“Life is not about how many times you fall down. It’s about how many times you get back up.”- Jaime Escalante. Do you remember what it feels like to live your life to the fullest? Greet every day with a smile, knowing that you're going to be OK no matter what life throws at you? To feel content in your essence and in your body? I work with clients who feel like they have lost "pieces of themselves" along the way during difficult/traumatic childhood or life events, grief, break-ups/divorces/ abusive relationships, struggles with depression, anxiety, phobias, attachment traumas etc.

My name is Donna and I am here to provide a safe and supportive place for you to work on what is important to you. I believe change comes from inside and that support and guidance can help us reach our goals. I approach counseling from a strength-based perspective and trauma-focused lens using EMDR, cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and play therapy for younger clients. If you are having difficulty coping with life's problems, or experiencing a sense of unhappiness, choosing counseling is a brave choice. When we feel in control of our lives and less troubled, we feel better mentally, physically, and spiritually.

My approach to therapy comes from the belief that within each of us is an inner wisdom, that when accessed will guide us to new insights, answers, relief and even healing from our burdens and struggles. I believe we are all designed to find healing, when we do our own, honest "soul searching" or inner exploration. Richard Schwartz, developer of the Internal Family Systems model, stumbled upon an approach to navigating our internal systems through work with his clients. He discovered that we all possess the positive qualities of calmness, compassion, confidence, courage, etc. when connected to this source of inner wisdom.

“The past is just the past,” they say. You’ve tried to let it go, ignore it, bury it away, but it still seems to haunt you. Growing up you saw the fights, cleaned up the messes, felt the pain of hurtful words, and covered up so many cuts and bruises. You did what you had to do to survive and got out as fast as you could. You were determined that your life would be different. And for the most part it is. Unfortunately, the emotional remnants remain; anxiety, feeling like you’re “not enough,” the disconnect from others...You’re ready to finally shed these struggles, but you need some help getting from here to the life you want.

Life, amidst its transcendent beauty, can at times be challenging, leaving us feeling lost and searching for meaning. Sometimes these feelings are triggered by a specific event, such as the death of a loved one, a major life transition, a breakup or a traumatic experience. Other times, we just can’t seem to pinpoint the catalyst for these emotions. Therapy can be one tool to help during these times. I believe that the role of the therapist is to provide a secure relationship that can be utilized for personal growth, self-reflection and long-lasting change.

Keep hold of your hope, as there are clinically proven strategies out there. I utilize an integrative and cooperative approach to treatment to support both you and your child.

Do you carry old hurts and wonder if you’re good enough? Maybe you struggle with feeling hopeless and unmotivated. You get stuck in cycles you don’t know how to break and feel like you make the same mistakes over and over. You feel overwhelmed with guilt and shame. Maybe you wonder if you’ll ever have healthy relationships. It’s tearing you down from the inside out because you just want to feel content within and connected to others. Whether you're married with kids or single and kid-free; hurt is hurt and you deserve peace.

I have thirty years of experience working individually with students and adults who are challenged with executive functioning skills. My clientele generally are identified with learning disabilities, giftedness, or twice exceptional. I also work with individuals diagnosed with attention deficit disorders, on the autistic spectrum, anxiety, and those who are failing to be independent or struggling with academic and career expectations. Additionally, I assist tweens, teenagers and young adults seeking help in career and college counseling, scholarship searches, and financial aid assistance.

You're there, in the dark, struggling to find a way out. You're trying to just get through today. At times, even breathing seems to be too much. Life is so exhausting. Some days it takes everything you can muster just to get through the next minute. The people around you, your friends, your family, if they are still there, don’t get you. If you hear “just get over it” or “think about happy things” one more time you’ll scream. Why don’t they get it? This isn’t something you “just get over”! Like you would pick this life if you had a choice? There’s only the darkness, full of loneliness, worry, hopelessness, and despair.

It hovers over you like a dark cloud. The pressure of trying to meet everyone's expectations (including your own) is too much to handle most days. And when you can't fulfill these expectations, the guilt & shame of not being good enough creep in. No matter what you accomplish you still feel inadequate. There's always a nagging feeling that something's wrong with you. It's exhausting, and you're tired of feeling this way each day. You wish you could have support, but don't want to burden others with your problems. Who would want to listen? In spite of being there for others, it seems that when you need help, it's nowhere to be found.

Whether seeking to better understand your condition, or advanced psychotherapy for a seemingly unrelenting condition, my goal is to help you find solutions using both a compassionate and a research-based approach. I'll work with you to relieve emotional distress AND improve your performance at work, school, family life, or any other domains affected by your challenges.

You deserve a life unhindered from the memories of your past, relieved of depression and grief, safe from intrusive anxiety or panic. One of the best avenues to healing is to begin to unravel and understand your own story. Therapy is dedicated time that you carve out for yourself to heal from emotional and psychological wounds, past or present. I can help and support you in a safe and judgment-free environment, and my approach is to let you help set the pace and provide feedback every step of the way. Life is short; every moment spent suffering is too long because it robs you of the joy and fulfillment in your present and future.

All your energy goes into your work and your family. You do your best, but showing up for everyone else while hiding your own heavy heart and constantly delaying your own unmet needs has left you feeling trapped and isolated. You've become so skilled at neglecting yourself and masking your own pain that you're not sure what is real and what is performance anymore. Your battle is internal and unseen. Daily, you're fighting to find light while living in what feels like a constant shadow, covering your joy and suffocating your sense of peace. How did this happen? You had goals. Dreams. Ambition. Where did they go?

Life feels overwhelming! You are anxious, depressed, and pandemic-recovery/adjustment. Maybe you have chronic fatigue or a mystery illness on top of it. You feel scattered, exhausted, deflated, unmotivated, and struggling. You're in a dark hole. There is so much uncertainty and you are SO TIRED and FRUSTRATED!! You just want to be able to decompress and find some relief. You need a place to breathe so you can catch your breath, release all this anxiety, lift your mood and have the space to process all this and plan your next steps. Life doesn't have to be this hard and you are not alone. Create a life you love.
