Been with Donald for over a year and he’s helped me with a wide variety of issues and has just been a great support beam in my life! Great guy.

He’s always on time, and ends on time, he gives great advice and worksheets and book references. He explains what he means and how I could go about starting to do it. Or he just asks me about my week and it’s like talking to a journal/diary, but a real person

Written on Jun 18, 2025 after therapy with Donald for 4 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, sleeping disorders, and self esteem
Don is a no bs kind of guy! He has helped me through my breakup with a BPD girlfriend, which if you are in the same boat you know very well this is a very turbulent and intense situation to say the least. He has supported me in hard times and recommended some great reading material to help me overcome porn addiction and to help build my self esteem. I highly recommend trying therapy with Don

Donald Owen is a very punctual therapist and treats his clients with respect. He is very skilled and uses holistic approaches that include mindfulness exercises, mood identification and CBT practice. He works with his clients towards their personal goals outside of therapy. He is a wonderful therapist for anyone willing to do the due diligence required to reshape your thoughts and beliefs.

Donald is one of the best men I know of to talk about real life issues. Especially if you’re a father. Don’t let your faith in whatever you believe in stop you. God sends help in many forms and many ways. So if you’re open to him and are person who wants to better themselves I strongly recommend him.

I can't say enough good things about Donald, so I will just say this: He is amazing. He's not judgemental at all, he is a great listener, but he also is a great thinker and has a lot of experience that he is willing to share with you to help with whatever you need. I have seen quite a few counselors in my life and Donald is, by far, the absolute best. You really owe it to yourself to give him a try, you will not regret it!

I've enjoyed my sessions with Donald, he's very attentive to the items I need to discuss and he provides me real life experiences that are extremely helpful. I think our meetings are helping me to address things from my past as well as current situations. Thank you!
Written on Mar 03, 2023 after therapy with Donald for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and anger management
Donald is a funny, and caring man. It's very hard for me to find a counselor I connect with, but by the end of my first session I was cracking jokes and forgetting it was only my first time meeting him. He always ends every session on a happy mood which is great! Usually I feel exhausted and mentally worn after counseling, and I feel He can tell when I need a mental break to take a step back and think about something else then come back to where I was. He's very skilled and encouraging! He makes the atmosphere a great welcome and comfortable safe place. He is definitely a man that brings an amazing name to the app!!
