I have been trusted with a multifaceted life. I have lived all over the country and have found people have fundamental values that are universal. My graduate degree in philosophy has strengthen my love of the human condition. I have been in therapy as a client for years. I would not go to a therapist that has not worked the sometimes painful process themselves. My first question is most often "What do you want to work on today?" This is the question that made me tremble with anticipation and forced me to be concise. Get ready to quiver and laugh. I love to help my clients in the process of awakening.

Dr. Stapp is unlike any therapist I've had before. She is not the kind to let you drone on or simply be a listening ear. I've appreciated her direct and humorous nature and allowed for me to pull my head above the clouds and see another perspective. With Dr. Donna's guidance, I've unlocked a new found confidence and trust in my inner voice.

Dr. Stapp has been a breath of fresh air. She’s been truthful, understanding and an advocate for me and my journey with therapy. She’s also extremely intuitive, provides me with guidance, homework and pushing me to be my best self. Her honesty and approach are just what I needed right now. I look forward to continue working with her.

Dr. Stapp is awesome. She is authentic and compassionate, with a lot of experience and knowledge. In the few weeks that I've worked with her, she has already helped me a LOT on a range of issues. She starts out by making sure you're getting what you need physically (exercise, healthy food, sleep, medical care), since a lot of mental/emotional issues are affected by that underlying foundation. And then she listens well, makes insightful observations, and offers invaluable guidance to help you do the work that is needed to let you feel alive, healthy, and happy. Thank you, Dr. Stapp!
