Teresa E. Doniger

As a trained family therapist and licensed professional counselor, I invite you to consider the many factors that may play a role in your current struggle or challenges. I place a high value on understanding the 'systems' within which a client exists -- systems such as the family, work place, school and other relationships. I seek to understand the various contexts of my clients' lives in order to better help with identifying patterns of thought and behavior that may be creating discomfort or dissatisfaction. I work with clients individually, in groups, and with families. I have led the following types of groups: bereavement, anger management, parenting skills, coping skills, visual arts/writing as healing, health and wellness groups, and co-occurring disorder support groups (individuals with mental illness, substance abuse problems and physical health problems). I enjoy working with individuals who seek to explore the many facets of their lives that may contribute to their distress and at the same time may present opportunities for improved emotional health. I am a strengths-based therapist. I believe all humans possess resilience and the capacity to change, grow, and thrive.
