I have been a small-town private practitioner in Idaho for many years doing lots of different kinds of therapies and evaluations. I believe I am able to connect with the patients and help them in ways they find meaningful.
I am deeply committed to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health counseling and creating a safe, inclusive space for healing. With a diverse family background and as a proud LGBTQ+ ally and Pagan-friendly therapist, I bring empathy, cultural awareness, and advocacy to my work.
I am an active supporter of social justice, equality, and the Black Lives Matter movement, believing true healing happens when people feel seen, heard, and valued. Outside of therapy, I recharge in nature, camping, enjoying the beach or lake, and traveling. I cherish time with family and friends.
I believe that “Without butterflies, there would be no change”—transformation starts in vulnerability and unfolds into something beautiful. If you're ready to break free, heal, and grow, let's work together to build the life you desire.
I’m Dr. Sean Burson, a licensed therapist in Washington and Idaho. My background includes work in hospice care, ministry, and military settings, which has shaped how I listen and care for people. I bring a grounded, compassionate presence and value building real trust with my clients. I believe our stories deeply shape who we are, and therapy can help us understand and rewrite them with intention and hope.
I am Lucretia Donahue-Reed, and I bring over 30 years of experience in the mental health field to our therapeutic relationship. My background is diverse, including 20 years working on a hospital youth acute psychiatric unit helping families in crisis and earlier experience using biofeedback to assist adults with chronic pain and trauma. I earned my Master’s degree from Eastern Washington University in 1990 and have been in private practice for 12 years.
To help you relate to my journey, I believe in being open about the life challenges I have faced, which tested my own clinical knowledge. These experiences—including a spouse's job loss, the loss of a home, a divorce, and managing a high-stress career—led me to develop an autoimmune disorder. This personal history gives me a unique perspective on navigating difficult life transitions and chronic health conditions.
In my current practice, I focus on the following:
Individual Focus: While I have a background in family crisis, I now primarily provide therapy to individuals rather than couples or families.
Specialized Areas: I specialize in Anxiety, Trauma/PTSD, and Stress, as well as depression, grief, and autoimmune-related issues.
Populations Served: I work with adults and elders (65+) who are motivated to grow and regain control of their lives.
I offer in-person sessions in Coeur d'Alene and Hayden, Idaho, and online for residents of Idaho and Washington.
'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families through anxiety, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, and parenting stress. Clients often describe me as warm, authentic, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. I believe therapy works best when people feel genuinely understood, and I see my role as helping clients make sense of themselves—their experiences, emotions, relationships, and strengths—so they can create meaningful change. As a wife and mother, I understand firsthand the complexities of balancing family, stress, identity, and caregiving.
Hi, I'm Molly, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes deeply in the power of connection, presence, and honoring the wisdom you already carry. I have extensive experience supporting women and adolescents navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, family and relationship challenges, attachment patterns, and the lasting emotional impact of difficult or overwhelming experiences.
I also work with individuals facing major life transitions, helping them navigate the uncertainty, performance pressure, anxiety, and depression that can accompany periods of significant change. Whether you’re working through a painful chapter or seeking greater clarity and self-understanding, my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and empowered to move forward.
I am committed to creating a therapy space that is inclusive, affirming, culturally responsive, and grounded in compassion, curiosity, and respect.
I am ready to listen and to help you in any way I can. I have helped many people reduce anxiety and depression and I would like to help you as well. I have worked with college students, new moms, men, people dealing with work/life balance, grief and loss and older adults who are going through various issues such as struggles with their adult children and health issues. Let's turn some of those tears into laughter. Let's talk.
My name is David Hoffmann. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed since early 2015, and have been counseling for over a decade. I have been happily married for 34 years and have 5 adult children spread across the country. I have worked as a counselor for more than ten years. I work with couples and individuals and help with a wide variety of issues from Trauma to depression and anxiety.
Hi, I’m Brian Donovan—a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nearly 20 years of experience guiding individuals and couples through life's tough moments across CA, AZ, ID, OR, and UT.
My approach is warm, direct, and down-to-earth, so our sessions feel supportive, comfortable, and conversational rather than rigid or formal. Whether you’re trying to break free from repetitive relationship arguments, manage daily anxiety, or navigate a big life transition, we’ll work as a team to build clear, practical solutions tailored to you.
I’m here to help you gain clarity, reconnect with what matters, and step forward into your next chapter with confidence.
Welcome! I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years working in healthcare.

I have spent my entire career spanning nearly three decades, dedicated to social work. I have worked during my undergrad in the medical field in such areas as hospice, home, health, rehabilitation, hospital, cancer center, and geriatric phycology.
