Therapist

I specialize in high-demand professionals, overwhelmed mothers, men's emotional health & anger management, former college athletes, and relational wellness. You might be an attorney or executive facing intense burnout, a mother caught in a constant fight-or-flight cycle, a former athlete losing your identity after competitive sports, or a man struggling with anger and communication breakdowns in your relationship.

I graduated with a Master of Arts in Professional Mental Health Counseling from Lewis & Clark Graduate school of Education and Counseling (Portland, OR) in 2023. As a graduate student I interned at Allies in Change in Portland, OR, facilitating men’s groups and received specialized training in abuse intervention, mens issues, and anger management. My past experience makes me especially able to connect with and understand individuals in high demand careers. I am also skilled at teaching people how to communicate effectively in a variety of contexts both personal and professional.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 16 mi away • Boise, ID


I am passionate about brain and mental health. Over the years, I have built the belief that strong mental health is foundational to a successful, fulfilling life. However, I have also found there are no cookie-cutter solutions given the complexities of the human experience, thus inspiring a passion for a thorough, thoughtful, and individualized approach to brain and mental health. I earned a bachelor degree in nursing and in psychology, and a master's degree in psychiatric mental health.

Hi, I’m Rick. If you’re here, you’ve already taken one of the hardest steps—reaching out. Life can feel heavy, confusing, or stuck at times, and therapy is a place to slow down, breathe, and find your footing again.

My work focuses on helping people rebuild trust in themselves and in the life they want to live. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, addiction, relationship struggles, or a sense that “something needs to change,” I help you identify what matters most and move toward it with clarity and courage.

Clients often describe my style as grounded, straightforward, and compassionate. I believe in honest conversations, practical tools, and a good sense of humor when things get tough. Together, we’ll look at the patterns that keep you stuck, strengthen your ability to respond instead of react, and build a more authentic, values-based way of living.

If you’re ready to do real work in a supportive space—one that balances challenge and encouragement—I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Lucretia Donahue-Reed

Lucretia Donahue-Reed

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Coeur d'Alene, ID


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.
