Donatta

Therapist

Have you ever felt hurt; hopeless; helpless; distressed; depressed; defeated; anxious; overwhelmed; over-loaded; weighed down; confused; frustrated or stuck? If you answered yes to any of those thoughts, emotions, or behaviors, you are not alone. 

Hello! My name is Donatta (DUH-NOT-A) and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I perceive life as a journey and along the path: obstacles, roadblocks, set-backs, transitions, and adjustments occur to strengthen us and move us closer to our destiny.  

I am here to help restore hope and provide a space where you feel safe: letting down your guard, removing the bricks in the protective wall, releasing emotional pain, unresolved trauma, or feelings of stress. 

I have worked with people challenged by depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, navigating life stressors, and life changing situations. I feel that I have a calling to help women work through difficult times and situations. I incorporate the Christian faith into therapy. I believe that Christ is our healer.

I focus on assessing and addressing the whole person- the mind; the body; and the spirit. I believe in the transforming power of faith. I am willing to integrate faith, prayer, and spirituality with clinical techniques, for clients who prefer such a holistic approach. I am adaptable to meeting every client where they are and using a person-centered approach that focuses on active listening, empathy, and seeking clarity. Most people seek to be understood. I focus on getting an understanding of clients’ unique perspectives and significant stories. Together we work in partnership to develop ways to support coping skills, emotional development and spiritual growth.

Change is hard and it takes courage to heal. Be encouraged: Help is On the Way!
