Professional statement

Donovan has experience working with individuals facing challenges such as eating disorders, those who identify as LGBTQ+, and people with disabilities. Drawing from her time in private practice and a college counseling center, Donovan blends self-education and collaboration with other professionals to provide well-rounded, personalized care. Her approach is rooted in creating a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore personal growth and identity without the fear of disappointing others. Donovan focuses on offering the tools and support needed to navigate life’s complexities, helping clients feel heard, valued, and empowered in their journey toward healing and self-discovery.

Message to clients

Working with me is a dynamic and evolving experience. I meet you where you are, no matter what you’re struggling with at the moment. We may laugh, cry, scream, or sit in silence, but through it all, you won’t be alone. My approach is approachable and upbeat, and I understand what it’s like to be in the client’s position. My own therapeutic journey inspired me to help others, and I strive to create a supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout your process.
