Therapists in Bridgeport, WV

Therapist working with client with anxiety and depression, specializes in populations with self- harming behaviors and also with clients on the autism spectrum

Hello. I'm Donna Borders. I've learned that each stage and circumstance of life can bring challenges, but also opportunities for growth. Because we are all human, we need support from time to time to reflect on where we are; what we might wish to change; and how to better cope with the life issues presented to us. If you find yourself worrying a great deal, feeling less motivated, and overthinking situations, it's a perfect time to talk about it. I’m here to be your support, and offer you tools to strengthen your ability to reduce your stress response, and experience joy in every day.

The longest journey begins with a single step and I am grateful to walk that path with you. It can be frightening and intimidating to begin the process of therapy; however, that experience can help you to make the changes that lead to a happier and more fulfilled life. Through a collaborative and safe relationship I establish with my clients, progress and change is made. Areas of practice include mood disorders, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, men's concerns, and ADHD and cognitive functioning (including testing services). I also enjoy working with clients from adolescents to seniors.

I work with highly sensitive, empathic individuals - creatives, therapists, teachers, social activists and healers. If you want to heal family of origin or painful childhood memories OR you seek better communication and coping skills > Let's start! Sessions include safe space, skillful questions, and a CBT approach - along with mindfulness, creativity, and nature-based practices. Each session begins with a short breath practice (optional). I have committed to my own learning/healing and helping others for 25 years. Sessions also include solution-focused steps & homework. I would love to support you in creating a life you love.

Caring for your loved one and watching them deteriorate before your eyes is not easy. Dementia, cognitive decline and older-adult life transitions require a special skillset that needs unparalleled patience and support. I know how difficult it is finding that right person to care for your loved one. Look no more.

My philosophy of healing is like working your way through a set of nesting dolls from the outer doll representing why you want to heal: trauma, attachment/relationship injury, depression, grief, and anxiety. The next doll holds the symptoms, thoughts, and feelings of the first doll. The next doll may may hold your negative beliefs you have perceived about yourself, others, and the world. The next doll may hold consequences and life impairments. The final doll represents your core and authentic self. The person you would be without all of the other dolls in relationship to the unity of mind, soul, heart, body and spirit.

None of my clients are failures or broken because they choose to come to counseling. In fact, I believe everyone grows up learning unspoken rules about what they should and shouldn’t do as a decent human being, when in reality, there’s a lot of rules that simply need to be readjusted. If you're currently struggling with your past, present, or future, let me take some of the burden off your shoulders. I currently am scheduling individual adults, couples, and college students. I especially love to help individuals struggling with relationships issues and folks with low self-esteem/confidence.
