About Donna Wilbur

Donna Wilbur brings more than 25 years of experience and training in psychiatric rehabilitation sciences to her clinical work, approaching therapy from a recovery model that emphasizes growth and possibility. She practices from a strengths-based perspective, focusing less on labels and more on each person’s abilities, the obstacles they face, and the resources they already possess to move forward. Donna works to build a trusting, non-judgmental relationship in which clients can explore challenges related to mood disorders, trauma and loss, attachment and abandonment concerns, and life areas such as work and relationships.

Her clinical toolset includes cognitive behavioral therapy, relapse prevention strategies, and motivational enhancement therapy, applied in ways that help people set goals, manage symptoms, and strengthen coping skills. Donna believes that people are the experts in their own recovery and sees her role as helping to bring that expertise to the forefront of treatment. She emphasizes collaboration, practical skill-building, and steady support so clients can pursue meaningful change and improved well-being. Donna holds the LICSW credential, which means she is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker.
