About

When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

I'm so glad you're here, and I hope I can help you on your journey. I have been a therapist for over 20 years and I love transforming relationships. Whether it’s the relationship with ourselves, the relationship with our partner, or the relationship with our children, it’s so powerful to see the changes that new skills and a new outlook can create. I specialize in children with trauma or emotional/ behavior problems, couples counseling, and adult therapy for depression, anxiety, and trauma. Therapy can be scary. We can be afraid of judgement. We can be afraid to open up the pain in our lives. That's why I honor therapy as a sacred space. My approach balances compassion with empowered change. I use a lot of humor as we collaborate to understand how life has brought you to this exact moment, so you can let go of who you've become and become who you truly are. I use only evidence-based therapies (research-tested treatments) to ensure our sessions will result in real improvements and meaningful change. I believe in accessibility to mental health care, which is why my services are in-network for Lyra, Aetna, Cigna, and Optum/United Health Care. As a wife for over 20 years and a mom of 2 teenagers myself – I get it! Relationships are not always easy, even on a smooth day. It takes a lot of compassion and little bit of humor to help transform challenges into an opportunity for growth.

Testimonials

“Thanks to Dr. Donnelly, [our son] has gone from a disruptive, unfocused, and confused boy to a motivated kindergartner making the Honor Roll”

Written on HealthGrades.com by a former client

“Life Changing - I was referred to Dr. Reesa by a friend, but still had a lot of anxiety regarding PCIT. However, my only regret is that we didn't do this therapy years ago! I went from being scared of my child to having a loving relationship with him. ”

Written on HealthGrades.com by a former client

“There aren't words to express how much Dr Reesa has done for our family & how quickly & positively she has helped us. We drive over an hour to see her & would be willing to drive further to have the level of warmth, kindness & non-judgmental professionalism. ”
