If you’re looking for a therapist who can hold space for both your laughter and your pain—who will show up as her full self so that you feel safe enough to show up as yours—you’re in the right place.
Donna Hir, LCPC, is a licensed clinical professional counselor who brings a grounded, humanistic, and relational style to her work. With a blend of warmth, compassion, and realism, she helps clients find meaning, connection, and sustainable tools for change. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or a life in transition, Donna’s therapy room is a space where you can unpack, process, and rebuild—with a touch of humor and a lot of heart.
Donna specializes in working with clients managing trauma, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, and chronic pain. She also offers deep insight and support for individuals navigating neurodivergence (particularly ADHD), and life transitions.
She is especially passionate about helping clients build boundaries, explore relational dynamics, and develop deeper self-awareness. Her work often centers around introspection, identity exploration, and building a life that feels more aligned with one’s values and voice.
Her style is equal parts validating and practical. Clients describe her as authentic, trauma-informed, and supportive—with a knack for weaving metaphors into powerful insight (so expect some illustrative, memorable imagery in session). She incorporates a range of evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), always tailoring her approach to the client in front of her.
She’s a strong believer in meeting people where they’re at—and then helping them move forward in a way that feels honest, attainable, and empowering.
Donna works with tweens, teens, and adults, as well as families. Her clients range from early adolescence through later adulthood, each bringing their own unique story and challenges. Whether you’re a preteen navigating big feelings, a young adult facing life transitions, or a family trying to reconnect—Donna provides a grounded, compassionate space for healing and growth.
Therapy with Donna is an invitation to connect more deeply with yourself. Her clients often walk away with a greater sense of self-awareness, stronger emotional insight, improved communication skills, and tangible coping strategies that extend well beyond the therapy room. Most importantly, they leave with a renewed sense of confidence, self-trust, and clarity in their relationships—with themselves and with others.
Donna leads with authenticity and encourages her clients to do the same. She’s known for her use of metaphor—bringing complex ideas into relatable, real-world understanding—and for showing up as a fully human therapist. She’s not here to “fix” you, but to walk beside you as you reclaim your voice, rediscover your resilience, and create a life that works for you.
