Over time, it’s been so great to open up to Donielle. I can’t imagine what my anxiety would be like without her. From resources to just providing advice, she has gotten into my brain and helped me control some of my thoughts. I am really thankful for the time we’ve spent together.

My therapy experience with Donielle is not my first, but it most certainly is my very best. I feel like she truly hears me and understands my concerns. I never feel judged regardless of what I’m going through, and she always seems to understand the type of support I need.
