Donna Goldberg
LPC, FNTP | Therapist & Nutritionist
Anxiety, Chronic Illness, ADHD
First, I would like to say welcome to any person checking us out, for whatever reason, you are encouraged to come as you are. I have been a practicing Mental Health Counselor and Nutritionist for several years, and what I have learned is that everyone, no matter how resilient, can use a little help now and then.
My approach to counseling starts with my belief that humans are not broken, but our stressors and environment can throw us off balance. I work with individuals to help identify what is unbalanced in their life and apply tools and strategies to restore that balance.
I use parts of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Mindfulness practices, and purpose-driven therapy. I have not found a one size fits all approach, so I vary my approach to match the needs of my clients. I am also trained by Amen Clinicsamenclinics.com/conditions/adhd-add/ to do ADHD assessments and can work with clients to implement the strategies and lifestyle changes recommended by Amen Clinics to improve ADHD without prescription medication.
I work with adults, as well as adolescents over the age of 12.

I hold undergraduate degrees in both psychology and sociology from UT Austin, and a Master’s of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lamar University. I also hold a certification as a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and a certification from the Amen University as a Brain Health Coach.
I love the work I do, but when not working I enjoy playing with my 5 dachshund pups, hanging out with my husband and daughters, and enjoying everything Austin has to offer. In my free time you can find me watching local Austin musicians, hiking in the trails behind my house, or eating at some of the wonderful restaurants we have here. I hope to meet you soon!
