Getting to know Kirsten Donaldson

Do you think you are not good enough, you are a failure, or have another negative belief about yourself? Those come from our past experiences, and EMDR can help you process through past events and allow you to have more positive beliefs about yourself. I am trained in EMDR and DBT and can help you with negative beliefs, regulating your emotions, and improving relationships. I offer a person-centered approach to therapy, which means my clients call the shots on what they would like to focus on. I can give you recommendations based on your needs, but ultimately, we go at your speed and the direction you want to go. My ideal client is someone who wants to get better by putting in the work that they need to. It can be uncomfortable at times, but I will never push you further than you want to go.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am friendly, flexible, and non-judgemental. I want to have a collaborative partnership with my clients where we work together to decide the best route to take for your therapeutic needs. When I was 7 years old, I had an older sister who was killed in a boating accident. Our family spoke to a counselor after that traumatic incident, and it really helped me and my family. After that, I always had the desire to help others in the way that person helped me.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I typically set up treatment plans for my clients based on what they are looking for in therapy. Specific goals, objectives, and steps are set up for my clients to progress in therapy. The treatment plan is not set in stone and can change based on progress or new needs that arise. During our first session, I just want to get to know you. Why did you come to counseling? What major life events have you experienced? What your relationships are like, and mostly, how do you want to see yourself and what your ideal life would look like?. We can then plan goals and how we are going to get you there.
