Donna M Torbico - HEAL & GROW for ACoAs
Counselor/Therapist, Recovery Therapist in Private Practice 35 years
FREE INTRO - to see if we're a good fit. My main focus is working with ACAs - adults who were raised in an alcoholic / narcissistic family. The long-term goal is to uncover your True Self, develop a Loving Parent voice, heal the Wounded Child, & encourage the Healthy Child to shine.
Together we identify the harsh beliefs you absorbed from your family, school & religion, and work on transforming them into positive do-able ‘rules’ to live by.
EXP: “I know what I know”, “I have a right to my needs”, “”There’s no such thing as perfect”…..
I also provide a safe place for you to experience painful or joyful emotions you weren't allowed to feel growing up. ACA Recovery work is about facing the reality of early damage, and working to overcome the after-effects.
“Trying to flourish in an atmosphere of criticism is like trying to get sober in a bar.”

Dr. Joyce Wagner
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Ph.D., LCSW-R
As a therapist (with 25 years of experience) I endeavor to help my clients gain both the practical skills (often using those found in the CBT or DBT framework) as well as insight into the underlying issues that may be leading to their distress. I draw from various schools of psychological thought - including psychodynamic, supportive, existential, behavioral, developmental and family systems. I am a trained and certified trauma informed therapist and use EMDR when appropriate for resolving past or present trauma.

Creative Now Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, LCAT, ATR-BC, Gestalt Psychotherapy Certified, Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy Certified
Finding relief and healing can be daunting, how do we even start? How do we ask for help? Maybe you feel that you shouldn’t need help or that you don’t deserve it. Maybe you’re used to saying, “I’m fine,” but you feel lonely, lost, and stuck. It's frustrating when you know there's life, a story, a voice, inside you longing to be expressed, but you just can’t seem to figure out how to reconnect. We're here with you, and we're here to help you be with you. Book your free initial consultation call with us today.
We (Cris, Autumn, Lavender, and Christine) are trained in talk therapy, eco art therapy, and body-centered/somatic psychotherapy. These modalities can help you tap into core issues to resolve deep patterns. Through creative interventions and attending to your body, we believe you can generate more understanding of your struggles to enact behavior change and growth immediately.
