Is it hard to turn off your worries? Are your thoughts intrusive and distressing? Do you feel they control you?

Having anxiety isn’t a hopeless situation (no matter what your head may be telling you.) Far from it. My specialties and expertise are focused on treating adults and children who have anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive spectrum disorders, are going through life transitions (like life after divorce), or who would like help with their parenting skills.

I believe that each person has the ability to make positive changes by learning and practicing new skills and strategies to apply in whatever areas of their life they want to improve.

I have expertise in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectic Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Humanistic Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Couples and Family Therapy

Hello! My name is Donna Murray and I look forward to connecting with you. I’ve had the joy of working in the counseling field for over 25 years in multiple settings including: private practice, inpatient and outpatient, home-based, school-based and residential detox. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the states of Ohio, West Virginia and North Carolina and have been offering counseling services since 1996. Currently, I also serve on the West Virginia Certification Board for Addiction & Prevention Professionals.

My practice focuses on working with individuals who bring a sense of curiosity and desire to gain a deeper understanding into themselves. Many of my clients are experiencing life transitions. Whether these transitions are planned or unanticipated, the changing circumstances may trigger feelings that are troubling, overwhelming and/or confusing. Other clients come in with a sense that they are not satisfied with their lives or relationships and may feel they are not reaching their full potential. They bring a desire for insight and change. During these uncertain times, I am here to support you as you adjust to a new way of living.

Therapy with me is a compassionate, non-judgmental space where we can pause and look inward. We learn to cope with our stress, get clear on our values, set goals, identify barriers and strengths, and solve problems. We get to know, accept, and embrace all parts of ourselves (yes, even the parts we don't like). I listen and support while gently challenging you to be honest with yourself and stand in your worth. I’ve seen therapy create profound shifts in my clients’ selves, relationships, and lives.

Life can be overwhelming and tough. Sometimes, we need more than our normal support systems. Sometimes, we need help moving forward and healing. Color, sexuality, gender, societal stereotypes, labels and trauma can add to ones struggle to navigate through life. Whatever brings you to counseling, it is my honor and goal to be with you through your journey in healing

I have been working with teens, children, families and adults since 1988. I believe in warmly supporting my clients through the struggles and traumas of life. I use a variety of theoretical approaches, as therapy is not a one size fits all medium. I have worked in In-Patient settings as well as Out-Patient settings. My goal for my clients is that I am able to provide them with a safe and supportive environment where together we can explore their hopes, needs, and possibilities so they are able to move forward towards a better, kinder and gentler path in life.

Are you and your partner struggling with effective communication? Has infidelity put a strain in your relationship? Have you experienced bouts of depression that impact your life seasonally or all the time? Are you ready for change? What you focus on expands and eventually manifests in your life. We can work on behaviors surrounding the cycles of depression, relationships, anxiety and grief with the goal of building a less stressful life. Treatments and interventions include working through childhood wounds and other unresolved issues to help you feel less broken.

I am an Licensed Professional Counselor and Marriage and Family Therapist with special training in the attachment theory-based modality of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. I believe in building a relationship with clients where they feel safe and accepted, yet challenged to grow. Through this therapeutic relationship, individuals, couples, and families can heal and develop new perspectives and practices they can use throughout their entire lives. I utilize an array of techniques, including psycho-education, genograms, role plays, art therapy, and communication exercises, but I feel the most important aspect to therapy is developing a unique relationship with each client.

Are you ever caught up in a cycle of endless scrolling on TikTok and find yourself on mental health TikTok? Maybe you watch those videos and start to wonder if you might be dealing with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues. It can all feel overwhelming, especially when you're always putting others first and feeling like you're stuck in a rut. The good news is that you're not alone in feeling this way. It's completely normal to want to find some relief and learn healthier coping mechanisms. You deserve to feel confident in yourself and take back control of your life. It's time to prioritizing you.

The therapeutic relationship creates a unique space for patient and therapist to explore and uncover new possibilities for growth and change in areas that are of importance to the patient. I work collaboratively with patients to dislodge and free up deeply-embedded patterns of behavior and ways of relating to others that can keep us stuck and prevent us from moving forward, from achieving important goals, and from developing satisfying relationships that are nurturing and sustaining. Relationships are central to my work with patients, whether working individually, in couples therapy, or in a group.
