I always look forward to my conversations with Don. He has provided me with a positive space which has helped me sort through all my disorganized thoughts and negative feelings. His sessions have helped me immensely. Sidebar - he also has great taste in movies and TV.

Don is absolutely amazing! He gives me the ability to see things from another perspective and really say the things I know OUT LOUD to myself! He has really become a great helper in my life and I am eternally grateful.

I really enjoyed my session with Donlarae. He said a lot of things I knew but that I needed to hear and did it in a professional manner. I felt a lot better about my problems after talking to him for an hour.
