I became a clinician because I firmly believe that my purpose in life is to help others heal through compassionate and empathic therapy. I hope we can start your healing process as soon as you are ready.
Hello! My name is Lauren Donato. I have been a mental health counselor for 18 years. Since I was a young girl I knew I wanted to help people, especially people who required advocacy. This led me to start my career working with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I have worked in group home and clinic settings for over 15 years. My personal experiences also started me on a professional journey providing reproductive counseling for people who are struggling with infertility. I also have a focus on working with people who experienced trauma and those struggling with anxiety and depression. My approach to treatment is client centered. When working with me you should expect to go at your own pace and to have a say in the techniques we use. We will work towards a common goal of you living your best life. I draw upon CBT, DBT, trauma focused, ABA, and mindfulness techniques. I like to think of therapy as the gym for your mind, so you will need to do some work in order to see results. I am happy to provide you with motivation and support during your workout!
Healing begins in a space where you feel safe, heard, and understood. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I am committed to creating a supportive, collaborative environment where you can explore your experiences without judgment while gaining the tools and confidence to move toward lasting change. My approach is grounded in authenticity, compassion, and respect. I believe therapy is not just about processing life's challenges but also about discovering your strengths, building resilience, and creating meaningful change that extends beyond our sessions.
