Amy Donahue
I’m a therapist with over 20 years of experience providing mental health services in outpatient and in-home settings. I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups across all stages of life, helping clients navigate the challenges that arise from trauma, life transitions, emotional regulation, and relationship dynamics. My approach is compassionate, creative, and grounded in human connection. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process where healing begins with trust. I meet clients where they are, and together we use the therapy space to better understand their lived experience, emotional patterns, and the impact of the past on the present.

EMDR
This technique is action-oriented and focuses on mindfulness, staying present, and behavior change without first changing or eliminating uncomfortable thoughts and feelings.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In therapy sessions the client will learn how to dispute cognitive distortions. CBT helps the become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking so that they can view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Its main goals are to teach people how to live in the moment, develop healthy ways to cope with stress, regulate their emotions, and improve their relationships with others.
