Hello! My name is Donella Hedges, MS, LAC, NCC. I specialize in working with first-generation, multiracial and BIPOC individuals, LGBTQIA+ individuals, military veterans, domestic violence survivors, formerly incarcerated individuals, and special needs communities. My work centers around identity exploration, helping clients navigate the complexities of cultural expectations, marginalization, and self-discovery in a world that often asks them to shrink. Together, we create space for your full story.
As a first-generation BIPOC (Chinese, Filipino, Mexican, and Irish) therapist, I am passionate about supporting individuals from marginalized communities. Specializing in trauma, I strive to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels seen, supported, and welcomed on their healing journey.
I’m here to support and guide you through whatever challenges life has presented. Let’s connect and see if I am the right fit for your journey. Call or email to schedule your free 15 minute consultation today!
