“I feel truly blessed to have met Dr. Donaghy. When I began working with her 5 years ago I was lost, confused, and “broken”. She has taught me the tools to train myself to think differently and to treat myself better. With her help I have become stronger, more confident, and positive. I have accomplished more than I ever imagined possible and am on the path to the future I deserve and dreamed of.
Thank you Dr. Donaghy, I will never forget your presence in my life. ”

She has been able to help me understand that I have power, that I can change, and that I can live a more purposeful life.

“I began seeing Dr. Donaghy in 2015 to establish a long term therapeutic relationship to help me menage a diagnosis of Bipolar disorder. I had several life stressors going on in the beginning and over time she has helped me learn coping skills to overcome these difficulties. She has helped meas I struggled with professional difficulties including losing a professional license. with her help I have received several promotions in my current career and I have had greater success in my personal life as well. During the time that I have seen her I have gotten married, paid off all of my debt and recently had my professional license reinstate. Dr. Donaghy helped me in such as way that I didn’t know how she was doing it but all of a sudden I came to the realization that I was a different person. I became more positive, assertive and happy. I was achieving things I didn’t even think would be possible for me before I meet her. I admit I had to do the work, but with her guidance I changed. I would recommend that anyone who wants to be happier and healthier give Dr. Donaghy a chance to help you.”

Thanks, Dr. D!”
