My name is Donna Ward. I am a National Board-Certified Counselor (NCC) with a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am currently a Ph.D. candidate for a doctorate in Developmental Psychology. Additionally, I am a Certified Brain Health Coach with Amen Clinics and a Certified Neurofeedback Specialist.

My experience with clients and patients has been in various settings including mental health hospitals, substance abuse residential and outpatient facilities, faith-based institutions, and peak performance centers. More of my experience involves assisting individuals to work through various life challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, substance abuse, executive functioning, emotional dysregulation, personality disorders, anger management, marital and couples issues, and life coaching.

I enjoy volunteer work with late adolescents and emerging adults navigating their way into careers and adulthood. I also have a passion for the youth struggling academically and behaviorally who need support, interventions, and accommodations that will enable them to be successful in the classroom, build confidence in themselves, and have a bright future.

My approach is to Equip, Empower, and Optimize the individual to be the best version of themselves. Together, we will develop the objectives and goals you wish to achieve during our time together. Your readiness to address and overcome the challenges will influence the positive outcomes you desire.
