“I'VE BEEN SEEING JEFF FOR THERAPY EACH WEEK FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS NOW. HE'S HELPED ME A LOT AS I'VE ADJUSTED To A NEW LIFE POST DIVORCE. JEFF IS A GOOD LISTENER AND HAS PROVIDED A NUMBER OF KEY INSIGHTS THAT HAVE PROVEN TO BE TRANSFORMATVE TO MY MENTAL STATE.”

“I've never been in therapy before and, honestly, while I hoped for help, I was somewhat skeptical. From the very first session, Jeff showed me how wrong I had been. The patience, the thoughtfulness and the professionalism are, I suppose, something to be expected of any person who attempts to do this. What was highly unexpected was how his presence in our sessions gave me the space and the trust to explore my fears, frustrations, and, indeed, hopes. I always feared that I may not be able to get the help I need if I was not able to trust, or if I felt judged. As it is, therapy sessions with Jeff turned into a true gift - something I look forward to every week. I am still working through a lot, but now therapy gives me hope that I will be ok, it is a real resource for me. Jeff made that possible.”

Getting to know Jeffrey Donato
Disclaimer: Providers at Canino Psychotherapy focus on therapy services and do not prescribe medication, as they are not psychiatrists.
Hi, my name is Jeffrey Donato. I was raised in Queens, NY, and developed a passion for psychology at a young age. I graduated with my Bachelor's degree from Marist College in 2013 and earned my Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Hofstra University in 2015. I also hold a Certificate of Advanced Studies. In my free time, I enjoy exercising, traveling, reading, and watching sports. My goal is to collaborate with you and provide a safe environment where you can share openly, create worthwhile and achievable goals, and ultimately become the best version of yourself. Whether you want to find ways to cope with daily life stressors, process traumatic experiences, or recover from addiction, I will work hard to support you on your journey. I have many years of experience working with people struggling with substance use, depression, anxiety, and PTSD. I practice from a psychodynamic perspective while integrating aspects of CBT and Motivational Interviewing methods. I look forward to working with you!

Not sure if I was experiencing an off day, but did not seem like the initial meeting was handled professionally. Would highly encourage Mr. Donato to practice a little more self control and not be so easily swayed left or right.

My visits are always helpful for myself. I haven't used a therapist prior to Jeffrey and I am glad because I am always very comfortable. Everything is always very professional and I value that a lot. Happy to say my only real experience with therapy has been him because I can't imagine it any differently.
