Private Coaching

You've reached a point where what used to work just doesn't. You're smart, self-aware, and accomplished—yet you are stuck, spinning your wheels, or teetering on the edge of burnout. You've talked to friends, read the books, maybe even seen a therapist or coach before. But you're stillsearching for something deeper, more immediate, more practical, more you.

Using a combination of gestalt psychology and visual and narrative thinking, I help you see clearly what's keeping you stuck and empower you to create a meaningful, practical, and sustainable path forward.

Who I work with

My clients are entrepreneurs, creatives, tech professionals, and purpose-driven individuals who want to create deep, meaningful shifts in how they approach life, work, and themselves.

Our focus often shifts and evolves over time as life evolves and includes topics like:

  • Leadership development

  • ADHD coaching

  • Autism spectrum (level 1)

  • Dyslexia, learning and communication differences

  • LGBTQ+ and queer identities

  • Psychedelic integration coaching

  • Mindfulness…even if you shudder at the thought :)

  • Anxiety, burnout, and emotional regulation

  • Confidence and self-esteem

  • Interpersonal relationships

  • Purpose, focus, and motivation

  • Workplace challenges

  • Work/life balance

  • Career transitions

How this works

Awareness

We uncover hidden patterns in how you think, feel, and move through the world—what’s holding you back, and what’s waiting to emerge.

Experimentation

We explore new ways of showing up in real time. You’ll try things out, notice what shifts, and keep what works.

Results

The changes stick. You grow, recalibrate, and expand—one powerful, authentic shift at a time.

Frequently asked questions

  • You bring your goals, dreams, and what’s present to our weekly sessions. We create seismic shifts in who and how you are so that you can create the outcomes that matter most to you.

    We usually meet over Zoom. Sometimes phone. I also offer limited in-person sessions in Brooklyn, NY (and occasionally Manhattan).

    If you're looking for flexible scheduling, asynchronous collaboration, 360s, stakeholder involvement, off-sites, retreats, team coaching, or anything that involves travel, executive coaching may be a better fit.

  • My standard rate is $450 for a 45-minute session. I sometimes have sliding-scale spots available as long as you are flexible about when and where we meet.

    Many of my clients use their employer’s professional development funds for reimbursement—I’m happy to provide you with monthly or quarterly receipts, if needed.

    If your company is directly sponsoring, invested in outcomes, or requires me to invoice them directly, executive coaching is a better option.

  • Book a 45-minute consultation. If we both feel like we’re a good fit and agree to work together, I ask you to pay for the session via Zelle or Venmo. If not, you’re under no obligation to pay a fee.

“Working with Donna has changed my brain more than years of therapy.

There are plenty of books out there that tell you how to improve yourself at work, but this is not like that. Experimenting with my life has helped me identify, break, and change patterns of behavior that I didn’t even realize were holding me back. This has had an almost unmeasurable impact on me because it’s permeated my whole life and is now such a big part of who I am and how I do things.
