Donna V. Norona

As a dedicated educator for many years, I came to recognize the critical need for mental health support — especially through the experiences shared by my students. In 2022, I also lost my beloved stepmother-in-law. Her end-of-life journey deeply moved me and ultimately inspired me to pursue clinical social work.

Born and raised in the Philippines, I am fluent in Tagalog and Cebuano and also understand Hiligaynon. My areas of focus include faith and spirituality, grief and loss, attachment issues, cultural identity and assimilation, and anxiety, depression, and trauma.

I view psychotherapy as sacred work and am committed to being present for my clients in the most compassionate way possible. I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore, process, and heal. I believe in the inherent strength of every individual and their ability to create meaningful change in their lives.
