Getting to know Julia Massay Donato
Hello, my name is Julia Massay-Donato. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have been practicing for almost 10 years. I earned my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I live in upstate New York and love spending time outside with my daughter, husband, and puppy. I come from an Italian background with a large extended family living around me. I have traveled to many different countries and studied in Queens, Nebraska, and Colorado. I feel strongly that all individuals deserve to feel and experience their best selves, no matter what has happened in their lives. We have one life, and I want everyone to feel that they can make the most of it. I work to build very strong and longer-term relationships with my clients to ensure that I am matching and addressing all their needs. I have a lot of experience with many types of populations and can utilize many theories depending on need. I am dedicated and motivated to help you and will work as hard or as long as needed to ensure you feel your best. There are three specific pieces of my style that define me as a therapist. First, I am very direct. I will make sure to utilize our time together as efficiently as possible. Second, I am action-oriented, which means I am always paying attention to what can be different or changed to help make improvements. Lastly, I am very emotion-focused and trauma-oriented. I am always paying attention to the emotions and traumas that might underlie whatever the concerns are, in order to help change our foundational emotional understandings, which helps create longer-lasting change. I operate more as an analyst in sessions to identify the root causes of problems, how they are affecting individuals now, and how they can be changed.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
