Donna Paolin

HI! I'm Donna. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, (LPC) practicing in New Jersey. I received my master's degree at Temple University and have been working in behavioral health settings since 1996. I worked in a medical facility treating in-patient and out-patient clients, an adolescent group home and an elementary school as the school counselor. I help children, young adults, adults, couples and families. One of my favorite quotes is, "Nothing great is ever achieved without much endurance." In life, we go through things. Some are good and some are not so good. You made it this far, so that means you have something to work on and you are willing to see if a therapist can help. I have worked with people of all ages, genders, religions, races and sexual orientations. No two people are the same and all people deserve to be seen as the individual whom they are. Therapy may not always be easy, but I will treat you with respect and honesty. This is your platform. I will go at your pace so that you are comfortable, but I will challenge you. Together, we will set a plan and work towards achieving your goals.

With over 30 years of experience in the field, I am warm, understanding and non-judgmental. I will help you do the work to discuss what is causing you discomfort and together, we will make a plan to change it for the better.

Therapy can be enlightening, scary, impactful and fulfilling. My approach to therapy is client-centered, strength based, and solution focused. If you are ready, I am ready to help.

In our first session, we get to know each other. I want you to feel comfortable talking to me so I can earn your trust. We will discuss specific challenges that you are having, and we will set initial goals. This will allow me to make a treatment plan that you are comfortable with. We will work through the plan together in future sessions.
