Donna Weinstein, PhD., LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
Life is all about change. We can feel that we are the masters of our existence and on top of the world and then life throws us a curveball and we question where we are, how we got there, and what we do next. I am here to help you during these times. I have extensive experience working with families in life transitions. I worked in the Oakland County Youth Assistance program for 14 years helping children and their parents with problems in school, home, social, and community settings. I established an anti-bullying program that ran in 17 classrooms in Madison Heights. I have developed and facilitated programs in high schools to help students gain success through better time management. Over the years I also worked in Independent, Assisted Living and Nursing Home environments to aid families to better understand their loved ones and help those adults acclimate to their new living environment.
I hold a Ph.D. in Education with a major in Counseling from Oakland University. I also completed 30 hours in the specialization for Couple and Family Counseling. My training was further augmented through participation in Oakland County's Mediation training. I have devoted my professional career to helping others and I would be honored to stand with you and help you during your challenging times.
