Who are you?
That is a great question! My name is Dona and I see, hear, and feel things that others don’t always experience. I was born this way. It has not been an easy path to be on. I recently found my people and started on this path. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor - Associate, supervised by Crystal Dungan and I own my private practice, Amyris Counseling and Wellness, Pllc.
Growing up was a challenge as I was told more times than can be counted, “Dona, leave your imaginary friends alone and go play with your real friends.” To me the ones that only I could see were just at real as my “real” friends. As I got older I discovered that not everyone could see, hear, and feel the things I could. Sometimes it can be scary or annoying and other times it can be simply amazing.

Yes it is! The paranormal is real and so is trauma. Some people and investigators can have traumatic experiences before, during and even after an investigation/experience or paranormal event/events.

Yes I do. I am a licensed professional counselor - associate (LPC-A). This means that I am licensed to provide therapy in the State of Texas. I do own my own Private Practice called Amyris Counseling and Wellness, Pllc. I am still under supervision to receive full licensure. I am hoping to be fully licensed in June, 2025. I do not take insurance, but I can provide a Superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

I am located in Texas and see all of my clients virtually.
As I am only licensed in the State of Texas, I can only provide therapy for Texas Residents. All other states/countries I can consult with you and provide coaching services and referrals to therapists in your state.

As a Therapist I address a wide range of issues, including Anxiety, Depression, trauma, PTSD, and life's little challenges.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy approach designed to alleviate distress associated with traumatic memories. It involves the patient recalling distressing experiences, without reliving them, while simultaneously undergoing bilateral sensory input, such as side-to-side eye movements, which helps the brain reprocess the memories and reduce their emotional impact. EMDR is commonly used to treat PTSD and other trauma-related conditions.
