Welcome! I’m Donald Cook, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with nearly 14,000 hours of practice, dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges. My approach is rooted in the belief that every person is valid, worthy, and deserving of respect, regardless of their age, background, or life circumstances. I see the person, not the diagnosis, and I consider each client a respected teacher. A Bit About My Approach: I specialize in treating a wide range of issues, including PTSD, ADD/ADHD, school-related challenges, anxiety, panic disorders, depression, and age-related concerns.
I also work with individuals managing stabilized bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. My practice is holistic and adaptable, offering individual, couples, marital/pre-marital, family, and group sessions. Additionally, I provide specialized sessions in parenting and anger management, and I'm open to "out-of-the-box" therapies tailored to your unique needs.
My therapy isn’t confined to an office—I offer home visits & adapt my approach to meet you where you are. My goal is to help you recognize your worth and navigate challenges with resilience. Whether in-person or through field visits, I’m committed to a therapeutic experience that honors your individuality. Book with me today by clicking My Website.
