Donna Durham

In my experience, most people do not have someone that they can talk to about the whole truth of their life. It is my great privilege in life to sit with my clients, listen, reflect their life patterns, and challenge them to make the changes that lead to growth. My goal is to help my clients gain strength for life’s long journey.

My mission is to provide an honest, compassionate, and empathetic space for my clients in order to promote personal growth, and relational wholeness. A large portion of my therapy practice is made up of people of faith. My office is a safe place for people to wrestle with the hard questions that religion presents.
