Hello. My name is Dr. Donna, and I am a licensed Psychologist with over 20 years of clinical experience. I am a native northerner currently residing in the south. I think that blend affords me the ability to see situations from a variety of perspectives. This ability to perspective take is quite beneficial when helping others to achieve their personal and professional goals! I am clinically trained as a cognitive behavioral therapist, though I understand and value the importance of developing a positive client/therapist relationship. Through the use of relationship and a focus on goal-setting, I use a variety of strategies and tools to assist clients with achieving breakthrough in areas that may have previously frustrated them. Taking that first step to seek a therapist can be a scary one, but know that you won't be alone throughout your therapeutic journey to healing, self-discovery, and emotional/psychological relief.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Donna Gardner. 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.
Dr. Gardner believes in me and helps me believe in myself. She brings a wonderful combination of patience, insight, and approachability and professionalism to her practice and I'm grateful to have her as my therapist.
