Research shows that joy is the hardest human emotion to truly experience. Challenges with depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, low self-esteem, relationships or many other things, hold us back from fully experiencing these moments of joy in life. Whenever you may be at in your journey, your choice in seeking help is one of bravery. My goal is to partner with you to better understand your present circumstances, create meaningful goals and continue to provide support and hope to you along the way.

Overall, I consider myself a "worldly nurturer". "Worldly", because I have worked with people from all backgrounds, cultures, ages, and walks of life to "nurture" their potential. All of my experiences have taught me the foundational skills that I use in my profession today, which are: patience, the ability to listen, the understanding that listening is as paramount as speaking, the capabilities to be resourceful, valuing modesty and humility whilst still being confident and capable, and having faith in my skill-set while still being open to professionally growing and developing.

Let's get to work and get you where you want to be. I'm here to provide options, ideas, solutions, and the strategies to help get you there. I like to use the term "level up", as a description of honing the strengths and tools you already have. Together we can define and refine those skills you already have and also offer new approaches and mental tools that you can incorporate in your personal development journey. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing in a strengths-based, solution focused format. Time to level up to your best self, you got this!

Hi, my name is Donette L. Mabry MA LPC. I am a clinical therapist.

I put my life experience and my academic studies to work for you.

Hello, I'm happy to have the opportunity to support you on your journey towards greater emotional well-being. I’ll meet you where you’re at with a compassionate and collaborative approach while working with you to navigate life's challenges to create a safe space for growth and healing. I strive to provide a supportive experience as we focus on your unique history. We will employ evidence-based practices while working to gather an understanding of your past to establish your present and future goals.

We live in a world that is changing every day often creating stress, anxiety, hopelessness, and grief. My role is to walk alongside to provide support and perspective. Each individual is unique and an expert in their own journey. I encourage my clients to pursue their own authentic self while working to debunk societal norms that may be holding them back. I take a trauma informed approach that starts by bringing awareness to our body. I enjoy working with those who are 13+ (adults) to navigate relationship issues, depression, disordered eating; supporting friends and family members associated to persons with substance abuse issues.

Do you know who you are? Outside of your roles and responsibilities, who are you? What does your inner voice sound like? What do you need right now? What thoughts keep you up at night? What are your values? These are some of the questions that help allow you to build self-trust and create clarity in your life. I am here to guide, encourage and highlight what I see to help you come to clear solutions. My experience lies in working with individuals who are struggling with adjusting to life changes or balancing new roles/identities. I am honest and direct, allowing us to get to the root of your issue, trauma, or grief more effectively.

You’re defeated, broken, and feeling trapped in your past. Life has not been easy for you and along the way you seem to have lost who you are. The trauma you have experienced is affecting you daily, making you feel helpless. Unable to love yourself you struggle to set and maintain boundaries. The pressure to please others is exhausting and you can't seem to find balance or support in your life. Your history of abuse triggers you to impulsively react- rather than logically respond during difficult situations. You’re looking for guidance to process through all the baggage, uncertainty, and stress.
