Donna Ford, LPC

Donna is deeply caring and insightful. Her empathy and ability to make me feel loved and safe through the hardest chapter of my life deeply impacted my life. My journey had shattered me and Donna came beside me to help me put the pieces back together. She was encouraging without pushing, and challenging in the most empathetic and loving ways. She helped me find my own perspective and did not impose her own, helping me to figure out who I am and what I want from within myself.

She is just who I needed. It's nice to have a therapist who listens but also adds to the conversation with intelligent insight and follows up with tools to help me between sessions. It's been difficult to find a great therapist. Donna is a winner.

Donna, is just excellent in every aspect. She is very professional and personable. Her suggestions, recommendations and support have made me achieve goals that I never thought possible. She is a wonderful listener and soon becomes easy to speak with.

She has been a great help to me since we started therapy. She listens very attentively and doesn't pressure me when I need a moment to respond. She encourages me every session and congratulates me on the progress I have made. I feel very fortunate to have been matched with her.

I have not worked with Donna for a long time but she is very skilled and highly qualified. I have some limited knowledge in drug and alcohol counseling and I’ve taken note of some techniques she uses like making a commitment at the end of each session, to reinforce the traits or aspects you need to focus on most. In addition, she is also consistently reinforcing…

Donna helped me work through some marital problems and some self confidence issues. After a little over a year, my problems are largely solved, and I’m much more in tune with my own needs. She is a perceptive listener and asks questions that helped me work through these issues. I’m amazed at the progress that can come from some simple video chats! I’m truly grateful.

Donna is so understanding and calming. She helped me process through my negative thoughts and emotions. The sessions I had with Donna really helped me. It allowed me to talk through what I was experiencing and understand why I was feeling that certain way. I am very thankful to her.

She has helped me on so many levels of the grief I have had to endure this year after losing my Mom and then my wife about 30 days later.

I have recommended her and this organization to other friends and family.

Am I “fixed”? No and will never fully recover..

The year of firsts and being the holiday season, as well their birthdays and anniversaries of their deaths on the horizon; Donna has been there when I needed her, and checks in on me when she thinks of what I am going thru, and I live that she does that!

She is awesome, and I know she is the main reason I am this functional.

But she is going to have to teach me what one of my neighbors said to me means: “live in the moment”

They might have said it in Farsi. I do not understand what that means after this year.

During my worst time and with no one and no support system to carry me through the sea of madness. Donna was there to lend her caring ear and just listen.
