I am a resident clinician who has worked in community mental health for more than 10 years in environments as varied as hospice care, juvenile group homes, sexual assault crisis support, and justice-involved individuals. I was raised in a working-class home in northern California and became involved in politics, environmental activism, and community organizing at a young age. These experiences complement my formal education in behavioral science and social work, focusing on clinical therapeutic applications with clients identifying with LGBTQ+, kink, ethical non-monogamy, and ‘geek’ culture.

Emotions require movement and at times when we find ourselves stuck, it is helpful to have support to find our path forward. If you're struggling to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, or simply want to live a more fulfilled life, you don't have to suffer alone. I believe in the power of the therapeutic connection, and offer a supportive space for vulnerability and growth to help you live your most fulfilled life.

Hi there! I’m Donnah Vance. I am trained in DBT, EMDR, and EFT. I am a LPC therapist and certified with NCC. I understand how hard it is to heal from an emotionally dark, numb, or even hopeless place because I have been there too. When I went through my divorce, taking care of basic needs was challenging, and some days getting out of bed felt like a BIG task. For this reason, I primarily serve couples whose marriages are struggling but still want to make it work. Also, because traumatic events are quite common, I serve those who have been traumatized and deal with PTSD.

Throughout our life we are called upon to step-up and perform while also contending with life’s challenges and stressors. Whether it is in the classroom, the office, at home, or on the field, high performers are constantly juggling multiple demands for their time, attention, and energy. Having a space to explore, process, and re-connect with ourselves can help to realign us with our values, make meaning, and improve our performance across all of life’s domains. Whether you are looking for support, interested in peak performance, or unsure of what you need in this moment, I am glad you are here.

What sets me apart from other counselors is my ability to meet the client “where they are” Whether that is a client with a severe & persistent mental health disorder or a client that I only meet with for a few brief sessions to help them work through a “tough period” in their lives. I am certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy which has been proven effective in changing thought process and/or behavior to get more out of life. Simply stated – life isn’t black OR white and we often miss the importance of approaching things from a “gray point of view”.

Are you struggling with body image, your relationship to food, or an eating disorder? Are you feeling overwhelmed by grief, anxiety, depression, or suicidal thoughts? I can help. I strive to build a trusting relationship with everyone I work with that allows for space to talk through difficult life experiences. I will never label behavior or coping skills as bad or maladaptive. Instead, we will identify the ways these things have helped you cope & survive, and explore if there are other coping skills that will help you in a different way. We will work together to identify your strengths, heal emotional wounds, and express emotions.

Congratulations on taking the initial steps towards healing! I cannot stress this enough; it’s wonderful that you care about your mental health. I see a wonderful change happening in society where people can finally feel safe to talk about their life experiences and not feel stigmatized. I am actively working towards improved mental health care for all. As you take this important journey towards self-awareness and healing, you may feel the uncertainties that life throws your way. It can naturally make you feel isolated, misunderstood, anxious, and even defeated when you can’t see the path that lies before you.
