Donna Chamberlain, LCSW

Donna Chamberlain, LCSW

Psychotherapist
VA
In my 20+ years of practice, I have found that the relationship between a client and their therapist is the basis for all therapeutic progress. Although I utilize a range of therapeutic modalities, I am firmly committed to the belief that the power of therapy lies within the quality of that relationship. The tools I offer are skills I have found useful in navigating challenges. I am direct and collaborative in my approach. I come from a harm-reduction perspective and am kink-aware, body-modification friendly, and an ally of the Poly, LGBTQ+, and other communities. As a sex-positive therapist, I support any consensual and risk-informed expression of sexuality. For some people, this may include kink/BDSM, polyamory, open relationships, or swinging. Enjoying a healthy, meaningful life means acting in ways consistent with your values and with respect for yourself and others in all areas of your life. We'll work together to identify and put into practice those ideas. I believe we all just want to be accepted for who we are. Developing the ability to be true to oneself despite the pressures of others' expectations is a magical experience I would wish for everyone. I am a proud 4th-generation Texan. I embody many of the good things about my state: a can-do spirit, friendliness, helpfulness, a consummate DIY-er, but I also accept that there are many ways in which it could better serve her people and want to bring those traits to my relationships; traits like fairness, acceptance, and open-mindedness. And just like my approach to the therapeutic relationship is eclectic, so are my interests and hobbies. Over the years, I've developed interests in a lot of different activities, some of which speak to my more creative side. Years ago, I decided I wanted to learn to spin, so I bought a spinning wheel, learning how to take a fleece right off the sheep, prepare it to spin into yarn, and then use that yarn for weaving various cloth objects.
