Donna Kirby, MS

Welcome to your first step towards helping yourself to live the life you’ve been wanting. I believe what Carl Rogers once stated and that is “a counselor is not an expert but a mirror for clients to see themselves.” A counselor’s acceptance and reflection of feelings creates a level of safety for deeper exploration and an opportunity for clients to increase their self-awareness which leads to positive action.

I spent over 20 years working in a stressful environment. When I decided to leave I knew I wanted to help others to realize their goals and live a more productive life. In working and helping my clients I am realizing my dreams. Let me help you to realize your dreams. 

About Donna

Donna is a Licensed Professional Counselor and has been a resident of Dallas for the past 15 years. She has conducted workshops for women, a spokesperson for Greater Dallas Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse and has experience working with clients with various diagnoses such as Borderline Personality  Disorder, Schizophrenia, Bi-polar, PTSD and Clinical Depression.

Donna is an advocate for veterans diagnosed with PTSD. Donna knows first hand how PTSD can affect lives through her father who was a WWII veteran. He was never diagnosed with PTSD because it was called “shell shock” in the 40s. She worked along side her father until the VA recognized his disability and awarded him for his valor.
