• About Me

Guiding Minds, Healing Hearts, & Finding Peace.

My name is Donna Kawahara, I’m a Canadian Certified Counsellor based in Alberta, offering virtual therapy services to individuals seeking support and guidance. I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.

I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, and my passion for supporting people through life’s challenges has been shaped over the past 30 years in the healthcare field. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside a diverse range of individuals, deepening my understanding of the complexities of mental and emotional well-being.

I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where my clients can explore their thoughts and feelings, gain insight, and find ways to navigate life’s hurdles with greater ease and confidence. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, stress, or other challenges, I’m here to offer compassionate support tailored to your unique needs.

In our work together, I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches to ensure you receive the care and guidance that works best for you. My goal is to empower you with the tools and insights to heal, grow, and live a more fulfilling life.

When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy spending quality time with my adult children, my dog, and my cats. Outside of therapy, I’m an avid crafter and artist—crocheting, knitting, painting, and exploring paper crafts are some of my favorite ways to relax and express myself. Writing also holds a special place in my heart, as it helps me process and reflect on the world around me.

Life can be tough at times, but you don’t have to go through it alone. If you’re ready to begin your journey toward healing and self-discovery, I invite you to reach out. Let’s explore how we can work together to create meaningful change.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey. I look forward to connecting with you soon.
