Donna Sweidan

Hi, I'm Donna! With over 20 years of experience as a licensed mental health counselor and certified coach, I specialize in helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or at career crossroads, especially women, including new and working moms, to women struggling with menopause.

I blend therapy with action-focused coaching to help you tackle anxiety, imposter syndrome, ADHD, burnout, and work-life balance challenges without endless sessions. My approach focuses on getting you unstuck quickly by identifying barriers and creating clear strategies for moving forward.

Once given the Zulu name Khanyisile, meaning "bringer of light" , I'm passionate about helping clients find clarity, confidence, and purpose at the intersection of work and life—because you deserve to thrive, not just survive!

I blend psychological counseling with coaching grounded in neuroscience, CBT, and positive psychology.

My philosophy: the personal is professional—we can't separate work from life. I help you identify barriers keeping you stuck and create actionable step and strategies to overcome them. Together, we'll cultivate the self-awareness you need to embrace the shifts and healthy habits for lasting change.

Based on your information, here's a statement for what clients can expect from sessions with you:

What clients can expect to take away from sessions with you:

In our sessions, you'll gain clarity on what's keeping you stuck and develop concrete action plans to move forward. I create a supportive, non-judgmental environment where we dive deep into self-exploration to identify your barriers and strengths. You can expect to walk away with practical tools and strategies—not just insights—including reflection exercises, and wellness practices that help you build confidence and manage stress. My goal is to help you go from feeling overwhelmed or lost, to having clear direction, improved work-life balance, and the self-awareness needed to make lasting changes. Rather than endless therapy, we focus on transformation through a blend of counseling and coaching that gets results.
