Mental Health Counseling: In Donna’s Words

“In warm, connected relationships the potential for healing begins.  My skills-based approach to counseling promotes growth and well-being through collaboration, active listening, and insight.”   -Donna Abell

Just like the lily in a lily pond, a person has roots that run deep.

From the mud emerges the plant that begins to rise and reach for the sun.

It is our human nature, to pull ourselves from the depths and reach for a brighter existence.

-Donna
