Hi, I’m Donna, MSW Therapist and Wholistic Life Coach. I’m elated to serve you during your most vital transitions and help you succeed on the path that best suits your ability to live optimally. Life can be a challenge, I know. I am also aware that with every obstacle comes solutions that are viable for maintaining better outcomes.

I work with adults and LGBTQIA+ people who carry the deep pain of religious trauma, emotionally rigid or manipulative upbringings, and harmful relationship dynamics. I want to work alongside you as you find who you truly are and connect with the version of yourself that may have been forced to hide. These experiences can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself. In our work together, we’ll gently untangle those memories, honor your resilience, and help you reclaim a sense of safety, self-trust, and inner freedom. I am not here to be the all knowing healer. I am here to offer an accepting place to find the most authentic you.

In my work as a therapist and organizational consultant over the last 35+ years, I have assisted youth, adults, families, and organizations in reducing barriers to and facilitating elements of healthy growth, functioning, and the achievement of goals. I work collaboratively with clients for I don't feel that I'm an expert on someone else life. We learn together what will work for you as the therapy progresses and by the work you do in therapy, it is hoped that you will reach the goals that you set for yourself at the very first appointment.

I provide counseling services mostly by telehealth. I have offices in Washington and Georgia. I focus on working with people who want to change their behavior to get better results, to get more of what they want and less of what they don't want. That usually involves changing thinking, letting go of irrational beliefs, and learning how to let others know what your needs are. You will find me person-centered, non-confrontational, even humorous. You want to have better consequences in your life; my job is to help you find them. I also work with couples and families who want to learn how to listen to each other and stop arguing.

I believe that every human being has uniqueness and potential to lead a satisfying life. I have continually sought personal growth and professional training to strengthen my capacity as a therapist. People experience results and growth in working with me, learn to cope with depression, resolve anxieties, improve intimate relationships, increase capacity for self control, develop effective parenting and better understanding of their children, overcome trauma like divorce or abuse, achieve better school performance, social skills, and find peace in their hearts.

Sometimes the closer you are to a problem, the harder it is to see. Unfortunately an inevitability of life is we can’t have all of the answers. As a clinical intern, I see this as an opportunity for us to embark on a journey together to find some solutions. I love working with many different kinds of clients. But I’m passionate about representing communities that don’t have a strong voice in the mental health space. Some of these populations are emergency responders, police officers, firefighters, nurses and many more. Mental health is not something we have to deal with alone; together we can find new ways of being in the world.

As a trauma informed therapist, I strive to create a safe and supportive space where my clients can share their stories without the feeling of judgement. I aim to walk alongside my clients as they process hardships, anxieties, growth, victories, and change. I also recognize how overwhelming and paralyzing life’s unknowns can feel, and how trying to navigate these unknowns can create fear in our present day lives. Together, we will develop strategies and goals that help navigate through these unknowns and work toward moving past these fears so that you can feel grounded, secure, and ultimately present in your day to day life.

Hi, I am Heidi Alt. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy for those who carry emotional weight quietly while appearing calm on the outside, often navigating cultural transitions, intergenerational trauma, blended family dynamics, and complex emotional challenges. Many clients balance cultural expectations, relationship strain, parenting stress, or past experiences that are hard to express. As a Vietnamese American woman of faith, I bring personal insight and cultural understanding, and my training in psychology, pharmacy, anthropology, and hospitality allows me to approach healing from a multidisciplinary perspective.

We will not try to make you do what somebody else wants you to do. We start with your goals & find ways to help you develop the necessary skills. We have found that, if a person's individual wishes are not represented in the solution, it will not work in the long run. So there is a strong emphasis on helping each person take responsibility and control over their own happiness. Some things are better handled individually, and some things are better handled with both people in the room. Our unique blend of individual & couples therapy is quite effective.

My philosophy is simple: we treat the person, not just the diagnosis.

I’m here to help you dig past the symptoms to find the root cause, ensuring every part of you is supported and becomes resilient in this process.

What if nothing is "wrong" with you? What if your mind has simply become really good at surviving? Therapy isn't about erasing parts of yourself—it's about understanding why they developed and deciding whether they're still serving you. Many of the people I work with are the helpers, overthinkers, perfectionists, and people who hold everything together until they can't anymore. Together, we'll get curious about the patterns that shaped you, honor the purpose they once served, and build a life that's guided by intention instead of survival.
