Donna Gensler, LSCSW, LCSW

Donna Gensler, LSCSW and LCSW (Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Social Worker), brings a background grounded in long-term work within the child welfare system. Her practice reflects extensive exposure to diverse cultures, a range of socioeconomic situations, and the particular barriers faced by disenfranchised populations. This experience informs a compassionate, culturally aware approach to care that pays attention to family dynamics and the real-world pressures that complicate parenting and communication.

She has supported countless families who feel stuck in how to parent effectively and build healthier, more communicative family systems. That foundation has shaped a clinical style that blends creativity with evidence-based methods to address depression, anxiety, ADHD, and the emotions that arise from life stressors and past trauma. Donna draws on therapies such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and trauma-focused techniques to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.

Donna works collaboratively with clients to define meaningful goals and to identify practical steps toward emotional and mental well-being. She offers steady support and candid, constructive feedback while helping people develop skills to manage difficult feelings, strengthen relationships, and move toward the version of themselves they want to be.
