Getting to know Donna Reid-Washington

Hi, I am Donna, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience guiding others to broaden their perspectives. After more than 30 years in the public schools, I retired to focus full-time on my practice, "Love First," which emphasizes love as life's core value. My mission is to help individuals cultivate self-love, retrain their minds, and navigate life's challenges positively. My approach centers on person-centered therapy, following Carl Rogers' Theory of Personality, which emphasizes the inherent positivity in individuals-he/she is a trustworthy organism. Utilizing this client-centered and eclectic approach, I identify possibilities, purpose, and potential in my clients. By understanding their unique perspectives on the issues they face and their emotional responses, I tailor therapeutic strategies to suit their needs. I provide client-centered therapy for all ages and stages-children, adolescents, and adults-offering individual and couples counseling on a wide range of topics: parenting, depression and suicidal feelings, divorce, domestic violence and abuse, loss and grief, anxiety disorders, self-esteem, relationship conflict, and personality and thinking disorders. Creating a tone and environment conducive to positive impact and growth in mental health sessions is essential. Key elements I consider include cultivating warmth and safety by presenting an empathetic, nonjudgmental, and supportive tone. This includes ensuring the space feels inviting, private, and safe. Establishing trust and rapport by showing genuine interest in clients' well-being and demonstrating active listening is also vital. I validate your feelings and acknowledge your courage in seeking help. Maintaining consistency and reliability in our sessions creates a predictable and organized setting that helps build trust.
