Remote Counseling Programs
Individiual Counseling
Trauma Recovery & Personal Wellness
Not all wounds are visible. Anxiety, grief, stress, burnout, and unresolved pain can isolate us, confuse us, or push us into patterns we don’t recognize. Dr. Don’s individual counseling is a judgment-free space to explore whatever keeps you from clarity or peace.
Men's Counseling
Reclaiming Strength and Purpose
Men often carry silent burdens—expectations of stoicism, responsibility, and performance. As a veteran, clinician, and man who’s lived through real-world stress, Dr. Don creates a space where men can be honest, vulnerable, and empowered. You’ll be met with clarity, challenge, and respect.
Couples Counseling
Building Trust, Rebuilding Connection
Intimacy can be difficult to maintain, especially when life pulls couples in different directions. Whether you're facing conflict, distance, miscommunication, or a crisis of trust, Don’s counseling helps couples slow down and reconnect. You’ll rediscover why you chose each other.
*All counseling & coaching services are remote.
More Personalized Programs
Dr. Don also offers six specialized counseling packages developed for clients with specific needs. These programs draw from years of clinical experience and are designed to guide you through focused challenges: transitions in life or work, the process of aging, integrating mindfulness, managing wellness, or reorienting personal goals. These remain available and can be discussed during your first session if they align with your journey. Each package is delivered remotely and always customized to who you are.
Meditation
Being Present & Aware
Learning to meditate can help reduce stress, improve focus, and enhance emotional well-being. It promotes relaxation, increases self-awareness, and fosters a sense of inner peace. Regular practice can also improve mental clarity and resilience, benefiting overall mental and physical health.
