"The counseling I have received from Denise Donaldson is exactly what I needed. Over the years I’ve seen a number of counselors about various issues and struggles. Denise consistently manages the perfect balance between attentive listening and thoughtfully appropriate intervention. She remembers what I’ve shared in the past and draws upon that experience in helping me to make sense of new challenges and ongoing issues. She is consistently positive without simply parroting back to me my own judgements and biases. I always look forward to our conversations and marvel at how quickly and fruitfully the time goes by. She has helped me live my life with greater balance and a healthier perspective. Forever grateful!" - 2025

"I have known and worked with Denise for over 8 years both on the same team at Sheppard Pratt and in private practice. I refer my own patients to her regularly because I trust her clinical skill, collaboration and diagnostic abilities. She knows how to speak to her clients with care and concern in even the most difficult of circumstances." - 2024

"I’ve been working with Denise for a while now, and she is truly a fantastic therapist. She’s warm, compassionate, and incredibly easy to talk to. Denise creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where I always feel heard and supported. Her insights have helped me gain a better understanding of myself, and I always leave our sessions feeling more grounded and hopeful. I’m so grateful for her care and guidance — highly recommend!" - 2025
