Donna Darland

LICENSED FAMILY & MARRIAGE THERAPIST

About Me

I believe there is always hope & solutions.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFC# 39807) licensed through the Board of Behavioral Sciences in California.  I received my Bachelors degree in Child Development from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and my Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University.

​

What gives me the most joy in my work is helping clients achieve greater self-awareness and a sense of purpose and meaning in their lives. 

​

I was born and raised in Southern California. I moved to NorCal for my education and I met my husband my Senior year at SLO. We married a few years after I completed my graduate program. We have 2 grown sons who are a very big part of my life. As a family we enjoy camping, hiking and traveling.   

 

I also love spending time with my labrador named Bella, reading, being in the outdoors, time near the ocean and spending time with friends and family.

Services

 IN-PERSON OR TELEHEALTH

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

People come to therapy for many reasons. Whatever those reasons are, my role is to provide clarity and understanding within a safe and supportive environment.  We will work together to to achieve growth and the change each individual desires.

FAMILY THERAPY

Why family therapy?  The family is a singular unit.  What one person does in the unit effects every person in the family.  The more holistic the approach to treating problems within a family the more likely change and growth can be achieved.  

COUPLES THERAPY

Couples therapy can take place at many different stags in a relationship. Pre-marital counseling is a proactive way to address important topics prior to marriage. Situational issues, parenting challenges, communication skills and intimacy concerns are also topics for couples therapy.
