Helping You Know You

I crossed paths with Don a few years ago during a very tumultuous time for myself and my family. I had never considered therapy before, but I knew I needed someone who could help me through this challenging period in my life. 

I’ve had a great experience working with Don. One of the things I appreciate most is that he truly understands me culturally, which makes our sessions feel more meaningful and relatable. After every session, I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. He’s an excellent listener and balances that with giving thoughtful, insightful advice. I ultimately needed someone who could help me learn more about myself. I’ve been able to better understand the effects of trauma, and recognize and manage my triggers. I also needed tips on dealing with stress better, but he tailors his methods so that it fits with my personality. 

Don has been my therapist for 4+ years now and I really value what he brings to my life. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a therapist who is impactful, compassionate and understanding. 

Working with Don has been a transformative experience. His deep understanding of trauma and his compassionate, client-centered approach have helped me unpack and process my experiences in ways I never thought possible. Through his guidance, I’ve learned to pour more into myself—recognizing my worth, setting boundaries, and embracing my personal journey with intention and self-compassion.

Don’s culturally responsive care, particularly his dedication to supporting Black men, has been invaluable. He creates a space where I feel seen, understood, and empowered to heal. His ability to blend evidence-based strategies with a holistic, strengths-based perspective has given me practical tools to manage anxiety and build resilience.

I highly recommend Don and Deeper Meaning Counseling to anyone seeking meaningful, effective therapy. His expertise, empathy, and commitment to his clients’ growth make all the difference.
