About me

As a LCSW and LIfe Coach/ EMDR therapist , my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a fulfilling life. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
I am a caring compassionate person who has experienced many hurdles in my life which lead me to pursue my education. I turned my negative experiences into positive stepping stones to help others. My goal is to help you do the same. My goal is to turn your life upside right.
I believe that anything is possible and that each of us has more inner strength than we know of. The key is unlocking this strength while unlocking the issues which trigger our behaviors and addictions. My goal is to get to the root of the problem and pull those roots out so that you have control over your life. I work together with you every step of the way.
I develop treatment modalities which are tailor made to fit the individual. I tend to utilize cognitive therapy most, but I do utilize other therapies as needed such as client centered, psycho dynamic, strength perspective and solution focused. Every session is unique in its own way. Together we will work at reaching your goals and fulfilling life to the fullest.

I look forward to working with you!

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Donna Folcarelli. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Donna helped me to pull out myself from darkness, negative thoughts and hard pressures I was putting on myself. She thoughts me fundamentals how to transfer negative thoughts to positive. I am still practicing how to value myself, be kinder and appreciate what I am today. I know that I will still sometimes get anxiety from surrounding that exist in my life but I want to be able to get myself out of it even when that happens. So I won’t loose extra energy, happy yes and positive opportunities that come crossed that time. Present is my present.
