Dr. Donna is the founder of Eudaimonia® Psychology, which utilizes a holistic approach to therapy combining traditional psychotherapy with cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, energy work and a life coaching component. Eudaimonia methods and tools are a practical, step-by-step approach to therapy, enabling people to live in a consistent state of well-being regardless of what life throws their way. This unique therapy is based on the understanding that if you change your thoughts, you will change your life.
Eudaimonia® Psychology is centered on learning how to flourish emotionally, moving away from the pursuit of happiness – which is a broken model as it is conditional. Eudaimonia® Therapy teaches you how to decide and react emotionally to your circumstances, and thrive as a result of your ability to make choices.
Dr. Donna's book, "Game On", chronicles her journey from being a young mother of three on Long Island – with a psychology degree and little money – to becoming the New York Jet’s mental health clinician and producing her own TV show based 0n her fast-paced therapy.
Book excerpt: "I had to be patient and believe that everything happens for a reason: the good, the bad and the ugly. None of this would have been possible without learning how to take a moment, breathe and understand that there are no mistakes – just opportunities that present themselves to us if we keep our eyes open and our minds clear of the negative self-talk, with which we all live."
"Dr. Donna focuses on the fact that, as in sports, life is 90% mental and 10% physical. In her book, Game On! she proves it over and over."
