What we do
Our Counseling Services
We truly aim to see and be seen by those we serve. Only when we authentically allow ourselves to be seen are we able to accept ourselves and others. “Human connections create the neural connections from which the mind emerges”

Jessica Donaldson
Psychotherapist, LCSW
I see you and I accept you.
I practice psychoanalysis and use various approaches such as Compassionate Inquiry, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal Theory, and Interpersonal Neurobiology. I believe trauma happens in relationship and heals in relationship.
Shane Donaldson
Psychotherapist, LCSW
I help others reclaim their stories, not by ignoring the past, but by choosing how it shapes who they become.
“I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become.”

Essential Understanding for the Therapeutic Process
Authenticity vs. Attachment
There Is No Painless Inauthenticity
We all struggle between the need for authenticity and the desire for attachment. From an early age, we may suppress our true selves to secure love, belonging, or acceptance. But in doing so, we create suffering—trapped in situations, relationships, or identities that don’t truly align with who we are. Moving toward authenticity often means facing the pain of losing attachments that no longer serve us. Yet, suppressing authenticity only deepens our suffering. True healing begins when we embrace this reality with courage and self-compassion.
Freedom Begins Where Truth is Fully Known
Bring Yourself Into Relationship With Your Feelings
Your emotions arise within you, but they do not define you. By staying present with your emotions—without judgment or attachment—you can develop a deep self-awareness that allows you to trust your gut feelings and intuition. Emotions are not threats; they are signals, guiding you toward healing and self-understanding. Learning to be with your feelings in the present moment brings clarity, balance, and liberation.
The Way Out Is Through
Vulnerability Is Our Capacity to Be Wounded
We often close our hearts to protect ourselves from pain, but vulnerability is not weakness—it is the key to growth, connection, and healing. Without it, we remain stuck, disconnected from our true selves and others. True strength comes from embracing our pain, allowing ourselves to feel deeply, and choosing to remain open. The more we accept our wounds, the more we transform them into wisdom and strength.
Therapy Tips
Reconnecting With Yourself: Understanding the Root of Healing
“The essential component for healthy childhood development is nurturing, non-stressed, non-depressed, attuned caregivers.” – D.W. Winnicott
Our early experiences shape how we see ourselves and the world. When difficult emotions arise, they often stem from the past, lingering as unprocessed wounds. Healing begins with awareness—learning to sit with our feelings patiently, without judgment.
When we truly see ourselves with love and clarity, we no longer seek validation from others.
The most important step in healing is deep self-understanding.
The ego—the “I” that drives our thoughts and behaviors—operates both consciously and unconsciously, influencing how we experience life.
Trauma disconnects us from ourselves, our emotions, our bodies, others, and the world around us.
By bringing awareness to these patterns, we begin the journey of reconnection, self-compassion, and transformation.
