I understand that the decision to enter into counseling may have been a difficult one for you. I know that making that first call is the most difficult and bravest thing you can do for yourself. I have been on both sides of the desk, so I can relate to that fear and anxiety. Before you agree to enter into a counseling relationship with me, I believe it’s important for you to understand my background.
I have many personal loss experiences which led me to this career. I have experience as a hospice volunteer, facilitating a young partner loss group, grief and loss groups using art expression, guest blogger and artist for an online support group, illustrated and co-wrote a hospice grief journal, an artist, and a published poet. I have over ten years of experience in career counseling earning two certifications, have worked in non-profits, hospitals, nursing homes, hospices, teaching, mental health clinics, and most recently in private practice. I also am a Certified Therapeutic Art Life Coach and certified in grief counseling.
I consider myself an eclectic, faith based (religion need not be discussed) counselor that is person centered with an empathetic strength based approach. I incorporate the use of creative arts using various art media and writing and mindfulness such as relaxation and visualizations. I received an associate’s degree in psychology and a bachelor of fine arts degree, Cum Laude, in 1999 and received my master of arts in counseling in 2006 from Siena Heights University. I have also earned post graduate credits in art therapy. I can help you with life adjustment, bereavement, depression, stress, and anxiety. My hope is that through a non-judgmental approach, you will accept my support and encouragement during the difficulty you may be experiencing in your life journey.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Donna Wolf Robichaud. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Donna is a great listener and has an understanding for why we are in Better Help. The calls are like a conversation rather than an analysis.

She has truly helped me so much to overcome my anxiety and depression this last year. I don’t think I could’ve been paired with a better counselor. Even on my bad days I’ve been able to manage things so much more with her help. Thank you so much

Donna is insightful, kind, supportive, clear, and uses great tools like worksheets and art projects to help gain a better understanding of her clients. I have had a very positive experience with her in the first few weeks I’ve worked with her. She seems to help cut through murky problems and clarify and simplify them.

Donna genuinely cares and you pick up on that from day 1. She could relate to me and was able to offer really great insight as to what I was going through.
