Donna Wilbur

Donna Wilbur

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


I have over 25 years’ experience and training in psychiatric rehabilitation sciences and approach therapy from a recovery model. I believe that with the right skills and supports people can do anything. I use a strengths-based approach; rather than focusing on diagnosis I focus on what the individual brings to therapy, what obstacles are present and the individual’s strengths. I work hard to facilitate a trusting relationship and create a non-judgmental space for my clients to grow and thrive. I utilize CBT, Relapse Prevention and Motivational Enhancement Therapy. I believe people are the expert in their recovery, and it is my job to help bring that expertise to the forefront of treatment.

Haruna Maliani

Haruna Maliani

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • North Andover, MA


Welcome! I’m Haruna Maliani, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). My passion for mental healthcare is rooted in a deep respect for human resilience and a belief that everyone deserves compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to their unique journey.

With an extensive background in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings, I specialize in diagnosing, treating, and managing a wide range of mental health conditions—including depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD/trauma, and stress management. I work primarily with adults and young adults from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.

I view mental wellness through a holistic lens: your biology, lifestyle, relationships, and environment all play a role in your overall well-being. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel truly heard and empowered to take an active role in your healing process.
