Donna M. Chamberlain
Each of us walks our own path, climbs our own mountain, and swims our own river. Although these challenges may at times seem insurmountable, they are always easier when shared. If you are ready to move forward through your challenges I am here to encourage and support you.
I am a non-traditional, kink-aware, and body-modification friendly psychotherapist who welcomes adult clients who prefer to interact with a therapist willing to work with them on their self-identified issues as opposed to their appearance or lifestyles. I am open and comfortable working with alternative relationship styles and spiritual beliefs.
With more than 20 years of experience with clients dealing with a variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, stage of life issues, substance abuse/dependence and recovery issues, providing caregiver support for the caregivers of elderly, mentally ill, or physically impaired family members, I have found we most often cope much better with whatever issues we may be confronting when we have empathic, compassionate, and unconditional support. I have provided that support via group and/or individual counseling to adults in all stages of life; from homeless street-dependent youth and their families to individuals of all ages dealing with simple adjustment issues to life-altering addiction. I have many years of experience providing, supportive counseling, case management, community linkage, homelessness mitigation, and harm reduction, as well as providing resources and referrals when appropriate.
Today’s life is hectic and fraught with conflict. We often find ourselves caught up in struggling to simply get through the day. We try to meet everyone’s needs, climb the ladder to success in our career, be the best parent on the block, the ideal partner, and be as successful as our neighbors. We become resentful, envious, arrogant, judgemental. We become unbalanced and out of harmony with ourselves and nature. We don’t understand why we feel so unhappy.
With support, you can find your way to living a more positive and peaceful life. Together we will explore the daily issues you are facing and help you to develop a more harmonious approach to life.
