Ellen Donaldson, LMFT, LADC

I believe in taking a holistic approach to counseling. Since most issues are interrelated, positive change in one area begins a ripple effect of change in others. My training and over 25 years of clinical experience is diverse, addressing issues related to relationship problems, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, grief and stress. I was trained in EMDR in 1995, in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing, April 19,1995. A team of volunteer EMDR therapists immediately flew into Oklahoma City and worked tirelessly for several months providing this therapy to rescue workers and survivors. Before they left Oklahoma City in August, 1995 they trained about 300 of us to carry on their work. As a result, I became certified in EMDR a few years later and have been able to help many individuals, over the past 23 years, more effectively cope with and resolve a variety of issues and problems.
I offer two women’s empowerment groups, as well as assertiveness and stress management training. Since 1995, I have been an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Human Relations at the University of Oklahoma. Courses I have taught include Understanding Addictions, Chemical Dependency, Human Emotions, Stress Management and Advanced Counseling Skills.
