Donda Goodson
Licensed Professional Counselor
About
Hi, I’m Donda. Have you found that life can feel like too much—and not enough—all at once? Maybe you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. Maybe you’ve been carrying silent pain or questions you’ve been afraid to voice. It could be that you’ve been strong for too long—or you’re falling apart and just now finding the courage to face what hurts.
You’re longing for peace, clarity, and healing that reaches both mind and heart.
As a licensed therapist offering Christian counseling, I’m here to walk with you—with compassion, at your pace, and with truth grounded in both clinical wisdom and Biblical Truth.
I specialize in supporting adults and seniors through:
- Anxiety and overwhelm
- Grief and loss
- Relationship and communication struggles
- Life transitions
- Trauma and past wounds
My style is calm, thoughtful, and collaborative. I offer practical tools and compassionate insight, balancing skilled listening with honest feedback. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and how to move forward with purpose and hope.
Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to carry it alone.
Therapy with me is a safe, supportive space where you can show up as your authentic self—no masks, no pressure. Just grace, truth, and a path toward healing. One step at a time. No shame. No rush.
If you’re ready to begin, I’d be honored to walk this journey with you.
