Dr. Donna Orsatti

I am Donna Orsatti, PsyD, LPC, and a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor in PA. I also hold a Certificate of Competency in Problem Gambling from the state of Pennsylvania. I am the founder of Courage 2 Change Counseling, a private practice dedicated to supporting individuals through healing, growth, and meaningful transformation. I specialize in working with substance use disorders, mental health concerns, and gambling-related challenges. My approach is collaborative and client-centered—I believe therapy works best when we walk alongside each other, with curiosity, compassion, and respect for your lived experience. Reaching out for support takes courage. My goal is to provide a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore challenges, build insight, and move toward the changes you want in your life. You don’t have to do it alone.

My approach is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and grounded in meeting each person where they are. I recognize that change looks different for everyone, and I work alongside clients regardless of their stage of change—whether they are just beginning to explore concerns, feeling ambivalent, or actively working toward growth and recovery. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, respected, and empowered to be honest about their experiences. Together, we identify meaningful goals, build practical coping strategies, and develop insight that supports lasting change.

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Your first session is focused on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you are welcome to share at your own pace. Together, we’ll explore your current concerns, goals for therapy, and what you hope to change or better understand in your life. This may include discussing relevant personal history, important relationships, and any challenges you’re currently experiencing. From there, we’ll begin to identify meaningful goals for treatment—whether that involves reducing symptoms, building coping skills, supporting recovery, healing from trauma, or creating a safe space to process life’s stressors and transitions.
