Donna Long
I meet clients where they are, with deep compassion, curiosity, and acceptance. I'm a devoted listener. I'll focus on what's getting in the way of your having more of what you want, and on what we can do about it together. I'll be your devoted ally in your healing journey. In the process, I'll validate, stick up for, and help people bring forth feelings, desires, and young parts of themselves that need to be witnessed, loved, and healed.
First session
I'll show up to our first session, and to all our sessions, as an authentic human being, ready to listen, ask questions, and find out how I can be of help to you.
Strengths
I think my greatest strength as a therapist is that I bring a deeply compassionate heart combined with a thoroughly analytical mind to the task of helping people.
Ideal clients
Clients find me approachable, warm, and non-judgmental. I love helping people who are struggling with the fallout from difficult childhoods. Fallout such as depression, isolation, anxiety, relationship problems, difficulty managing one's life circumstances, and ADHD.
Treatment methods
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I use IFS to help clients get in touch with young parts that are suffering and need help. Together we find out from the parts what painful emotions and beliefs they carry from the past, and help them to release these burdens.
