Have you found yourself in the same relationships over and over? Do you feel STUCK in unhealthy relationships with your family, friends, children, or loved one? Have you been struggling with anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, or grief? Do you have difficulty saying "no" ? We can become stuck when trying to figure out how to maneuver through relationships, loss, and life transitions. We become sad, angry, jaded, and defeated. We get stuck between a rock and a hard place.

My journey to becoming a therapist started when I was on the other side of the couch as a teen battling anxiety. I got treatment that changed my life. I am here to do the same. Clients describe me as energetic, warm, positive, and non-judgemental. My style is often labeled as gentle and client led. I have a heart for advocacy and am comfortable coordinating with other providers, educational systems, employers, or government agencies. My approach is based on my belief in the power of the therapeutic relationship.

Over the years, I've heard many clients express a sense of imprisonment within their bodies or being 'stuck.' One client would describe "being everywhere but nowhere" to portray the discord between the mind and body. Furthermore, I have encountered numerous clients who went through multiple therapy sessions in the past---only to find out that the change was not enough or even uncomfortable and confusing. As for young clients, their unspoken pain manifests in traces of scars from self-harm and other destructive behaviors. For many of them, the traumatic past has become their present stories.

There are times when we want to be heard and not fixed. Other times, we feel overwhelmed, down, alone, worried, afraid, in dire need of help, support, and/or encouragement. Wherever you are on the spectrum, we can meet you. Be courageous! Take the first. Make the call.

Life is full of ups and downs, and sometimes, the downs can become so overwhelming when we are tackling life’s obstacles on our own, or with limited resources and support. I want you to know that you are not alone! We have all had struggles; I can certainly relate to that! Know that there is hope and the possibility for change exists if we really want it. I am Donalee Watson-Dwyer, LCPC, and I am currently a therapist with ROH Mental Health and Wellness Services, LLC, where our focus is on providing a ray of hope in seemingly hopeless situations.

Over the past 22 years, I've had the opportunity to work with children and adolescents. In the last 12 years I've increased my scope to include young and older adults. Anxiety, depression, trauma and other behavioral challenges have made up the majority of my work. In each of these situations a strength-based, goal-centric and client-empowered approach has yielded success. In my experience my clients have simply wanted to feel better about their place in life while re-learning to hope once again. My work in schools and in practice have taught me that my success begins from a place of genuine care for my client's well-being.

Are you experiencing depression/anxiety symptoms? Experiencing difficulties with healthy communication in your relationships? Gender dysphoria or learning to accept a new identity? Desiring to progress but feeling stagnant in several areas in your life? Therapy is a relationship, and it is important to me that you feel seen, heard, and understood. I am empathetically direct, and I encourage my clients to express themselves in a way that feels authentic to them. We can create goals and explore past childhood trauma or issues that may impact who you are today. Therapy works best when we work together.

There is nothing like being listened to and understood on a deep level, with genuine interest, unconditional positive regard, congruence, empathy and acceptance. This is what I strive to offer in therapy, as we explore together your hopes and dreams, your losses and regrets, your longings and fears. Many people come to therapy to free themselves from self-defeating patterns, maladaptive behaviors and the legacy of past traumas, so they can be more truly themselves in relation to others and live with greater satisfaction and meaning.
