Hi, I’m Don Campbell, a Couples and Sex Therapist. Looking for someone that will help with intimacy and relational struggles? Wanting to find solutions for conflicts surrounding your sex life? Are you trying to heal your relationship or yourself after an affair? Or maybe you are struggling on your own about sexual desire or concerns about sex and intimacy in general?

Do you feel there are aspects of your sexuality or sexual self that have been unexplored, overlooked or neglected? Perhaps you're grappling with dissatisfaction and frustration in your current relationship? Maybe you're struggling to recover from infidelity or even contemplating divorce? Although we are inundated with cultural messaging about sex and relationships, most of us were not given the tools that allow us to connect to our partners or granted the space or permission to freely explore the depths of our sexual selves. Let's change that. You deserve fulfilling relationships and an authentic intimate life.

At my very core, I enjoy and cherish people and your stories. That I get to be a part of your process of discovery, growth or healing is a great honor and one that I do not take lightly. I believe in the ability for people to heal, grow and change and draw from a holistic, person-centered approach. I specialize in assisting you through life's adjustments; meaning making, loss, grief and mourning; counseling with counselors; trauma, relationship challenges and struggles with a variety of mental health needs (e.g., anxiety, depression, anger, etc.). I believe in walking alongside you with your healing.

Some Openings via telehealth and in person, depending on flexibility with scheduling. At Life's Learning, we understand that life can be beautiful and hard both at once. Whether it is relationship challenges, feeling anxious or depressed, experiencing loss/transition or adjusting to something tough that is happening, we are here to support you to find hope and healing. We are a team of caring clinicians, who serve individuals and couples of various ages, with a warm welcome and compassion for the challenges life can bring. We currently have openings, depending on your counseling, billing, office or telehealth & scheduling needs.

When we grow up in dysfunctional families, we learn skills to deal with difficult situations that were helpful in the past but that may no longer serve us, like shutting down or exploding when we're upset, conflict avoidance, having trouble asking for what we want or need, people-pleasing, perfectionism, numbing with phone scrolling or substances each night...the list goes on. I work with adults and couples who have had challenging life experiences, are hoping to gain insight into how their pasts are impacting them in the present and adapt coping skills to move past dysfunctional patterns.

Thank you for taking the time to read my bio and inform yourself about how I might be of help to you. I believe deeply that life is meant to be lived rather than survived. However, it is not that uncommon for the collective experiences and traumas of life to push us into a way of functioning that can begin to feel more like survival. Despite our best efforts we can begin to feel discouraged, anxious, depressed and exhausted. These feelings can lead to choices and behaviors that are destructive to ourselves and those we love.

My passion lies in assisting individuals as they navigate challenges related to marriage and relationship issues, trauma, depression, anxiety, and anger. Over the past 5 years, I've worked extensively with clients facing a variety of concerns, including marriage problems, relationship issues, family conflicts, as well as individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, and life transitions. Specializing in children's behavioral issues, anger, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), I've acquired valuable skills to address the unique challenges faced by children and their families.

As a Certified Hakomi Therapist my offering is a Somatic Experiential Psychotherapy modality that is gentle, non-judgmental, and compassionate; a form of assisted self-study where the client studies his or her responses to explorations in a mindful state of consciousness. We become aware and touch upon the very organizing experiences that have been a part of our habitual life - the patterns that no long serve us. We increase clarity, creativity, confidence and awareness and break through obstacles towards ease, connection and vitality. I am available for phone or online sessions.

I specialize in providing compassionate and effective psychotherapy with a focus on relationships, sex, and intimacy. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I'm here to provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can openly express yourself. By combining Developmental Model techniques with a personalized approach, I can help you navigate the complexities of relationships and intimacy both individually and relationally. As a society, modern America often values individuality over community leaving many people feeling alone and lost especially with a topic as taboo as sex.

I prioritize providing a safe and healing space for you to process through the depths of life’s challenges and stressors. I believe therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to explore and unpack the challenges that are keeping you from experiencing a deeper sense of well-being, emotional health and fulfillment. Some of my specialty areas include helping individual through various life transitions, marital/relationship issues and/or infidelity, self esteem/self worth, family dynamics, grief/loss, emotional literacy and regulation, communication skills, people pleasing and the parenthood vs. childfree transition.

The path to healing is not one-size-fits-all or linear. Regardless of who you are, we're all out here just trying to be human. The decision to seek help is not an easy one, but my calling is to make the process feel safe, approachable, and welcomed. My goal is to be your mirror and witness to your story. I hope to create a collaborative and safe space to address your needs, achieve your goals, and bring peace and contentment to your whole self.

All of us can experience struggle, challenges and mental health concerns. I believe best practice in counseling will use a holistic approach which surveys all aspects of your well-being and your concerns, identifies strengths and develops strategies for growth and change.

Therapy is a powerful and transformative tool for exploring our most intimate emotional landscapes, desires, dreams, and fears. Wherever you are in your journey to healing, let’s work together to help you create lasting, positive change. I specialize in supporting clients through identity development, gender and sexuality exploration, relationship transitions and discernment, trauma work, and deepening intimacy, desire, and sex, while addressing the shame and stigma often surrounding such topics.

My therapeutic approach is integrative & eclectic. I combine Eastern & Western philosophies of healing & draw on several different modalities depending on person’s presenting issues. I believe that the more therapeutic “tools” a clinician has in their “toolbox,” the more resources a clinician can draw on to best support a person’s unique individualized needs & wants throughout the therapeutic process. I will work with you to tune into your true self, recognize your unhelpful or unwanted coping mechanisms and interpersonal patterns, and discover self-compassionate ways of living that support thriving in your life as you define it.
