Arlene Donnelly
She/Her
Licensed Therapist, MC, LPC
About
I became a therapist because of my own mental health journey. I know what it's like to address what's going on inside your head and successfully come out on the other side. In OCD therapy, we'll look at your thoughts to build coping skills and manage anxiety. I understand this can be scary. But we'll go into this together and take things at a comfortable pace. You can ultimately be more in control of your life. My areas of focus include severe and persistent mental illness, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and trauma.

Arlene is the kindest, most helpful OCD therapist! She’s given me the tools to be successful and I truly wouldn’t be where I am today without her! I never feel judged and she’s always a listening ear. Thank you so much Arlene!

My therapist ROCKS! When I previously was being treated I was too afraid to share everything and my current therapist is a gem! She’s so easy to talk to, she understands and has helped me progress so far with OCD. We are now only meeting once a month to check in. I used to think OCD would ruin my life, that I’d never be able to cope. Here I am coping, a new mom and having little to no intrusive thoughts. Thank you so much Arlene for everything you’ve done!

It is amazing how comfortable I feel with Arlene. I typically am nervous before appointments, but when I remember it's her, it's like I can a deep breath. It's also incredible how fast and effective this ERP is.... thank GOD!

Wow. I was originally assigned someone else and I am SO glad to have met Arlene. She just makes you feel... like you're gonna be helped 🤷♀️ Does that make sense. Down to earth and seems very genuine. I like that

My second appointment. Got to know Arlene better. Practice ERP in my present environment and some tasks to complete before my next appointment. I was really encouraged that she has veterans in her family and relatives. Also that she has clients in Wyoming so that she knows something about living here.
