Donna Groves

Hi - I'm Donna! Welcome to my practice. I'm glad you're here!

I understand what it's like to feel stuck in patterns that don't serve you—overthinking relationships, worrying about abandonment, or repeating the same painful cycles. If you're thoughtful and self-aware but can't break free from people-pleasing, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm, you're not broken. There's a reason you feel this way.

With 7 years of experience, I specialize in trauma-informed therapy and EMDR to help you understand and heal the deeper roots of these patterns—not just manage symptoms, but create lasting change.

I use an integrative approach tailored to you, drawing from EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. We'll explore the experiences that shaped your current patterns and work to understand the different parts of yourself with compassion—the part that overthinks, the part that people-pleases, the part trying to protect you.

I provide a safe, collaborative space where you gain both insight and practical skills. My goal is to help you develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others, moving toward real emotional freedom.

In our first session, my priority is helping you feel comfortable and heard. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy and what you're hoping to change. I'll ask about your current struggles and we'll begin connecting them to earlier experiences.

This is a conversation, not an interrogation. I'll explain how I work and answer your questions. By the end, you'll feel seen, understood, and hopeful that change is possible.

Ready to move toward greater clarity and confidence? Let's start this journey together. Reach out today to schedule your first session.
