Our thoughts, feelings and behaviors create our experiences. As a psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience, I feel that therapy is a process of creating change in those repetitive and maladaptive patterns leading to a better, more satisfying life. Therapy allows a person to explore and develop skills to effectively cope with personal and growth's transitions and challenges. I work with each individual on finding the right balance of mind, body, spirit connection that gives a person the ability to better assess for personal goals and plan for a more satisfying future.

In my experience I have found that the therapeutic relationship is the most important element of a successful therapeutic experience. I use a client centered, non-judgemental approach to meet my clients where they are at and help them get to where they want to be. Our world has become increasingly stressful and as a result people are dealing with high levels of stress, anxiety and depression. I believe people are resilient and we try to work through these things on our own to the best of our ability. Therapy can offer a place of support, help and reassurance as the face the challenges of day to day life.

I hear you. I see you. And I understand. Have you had times when you have sat in pain and confusion, felt stuck in repetitive, self-destructive patterns, felt fearful and overwhelmed and not been able to see a clear way out? Connection, insight and support help. The therapeutic alliance between a therapist and their client is a sacred space based on trust and connection and has the power to change a “survivor” into a “thriver.” I welcome the opportunity to work together to explore the thoughts, core beliefs, and behaviors that might be keeping you feeling trapped and treading water and existing rather than in living fully.

Are you experiencing feelings of stress, anxiety, depression, or having conflicts in your relationships? Do you have a teen or young adult child that is struggling at home and/or school?

February 2024 UPDATE: I have limited therapy slots (in person only) during the day on Tuesdays. I specialize in adult clients struggling with relationship issues, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and self-confidence. As a therapist, I recognize that life doesn’t always come easy. Relationships can be tricky and life changes can make us feel vulnerable and anxious. Simply put, being human is complicated. Therapy with me will give you the safe space you deserve to talk about life's challenges and navigate through them effectively.

You dread the sound of your alarm clock in the morning and desperately look forward to bedtime before the day has started. You feel on edge and overwhelmed. You no longer go out with friends because you’re exhausted from caring for others. Anxiety is scary and can disrupt your life. It is exhausting. You deserve a life that is enjoyable and worth living.

Hi, I am Donna Bequette. In a warm and connected relationship the potential for healing begins. My skills-based approach to counseling promotes growth and well-being through collaboration, active listening, and effective interventions. My experience includes working with survivors of trauma along with many other issues...including but not limited to stress, depression, anxiety and loss. I also work with couples to resolve communication issues and loss of connection. In a holistic approach; we process on all levels; cognitive, emotional, somatic, social and if desired, a spiritual focus...combined, this can create lasting change.

The past informs the present to help the future. Although we are not the sum of our problems, our early experiences with caregivers heavily influence how we operate in every aspect of life. I focus on helping people to overcome the challenges of trauma and PTSD symptoms and to understand the influence of these on relationships. An important part of the work I do is assisting loved ones of people with addiction who often find themselves dealing with significant anxiety, depressive symptoms, and relationship difficulties.
