Hi, I’m LaDonna

I can’t wait to meet you!

No matter what we teach, we teach who we are. -Parker Palmer

I learned the need for skilled Betrayal Trauma therapists from my own search of support after the discovery of my long term partner’s addictions and sexual/financial infidelities. As I healed and created programs for others to heal,

I continued to hear the struggle of other betrayed partners in finding the therapists they needed with the skills to walk with them through their betrayal trauma.

I decided that I could be most helpful to therapist and betrayed partners by sharing what I have learned through my own work.

The program I am offering is a result of years of my own recovery from betrayal

coupled with research and experience in the methods that work and that your clients need.

Outside of work you’ll find me reading, on the golf course, hanging out listening to live music and cherishing time with family and friends! If I can combine all of these at the beach, it’s wonderful but my roots run deep into the Appalachian Mountains that I call home.

Betrayal trauma is the pain experienced when the person that we have counted on to be “our person” betrays our trust and destroys our world as we have known it.
