Ways to Work with Donna
Evaluation & Therapy Services
Parents may choose to begin with a screening, which can provide valuable insight and help determine the most appropriate next steps for their child. Through questionnaires, parent interviews, and time spent observing and interacting with your child, Donna identifies underlying challenges and provides practical recommendations. For families seeking a deeper understanding, comprehensive evaluations incorporating standardized testing, clinical observations, and a detailed developmental history offer greater clarity and a personalized plan for success. Children quickly connect with Donna's warm, engaging approach, allowing her to build trust while gently challenging them to develop new skills and confidence. Parents are encouraged to participate in the process, creating a collaborative partnership focused on helping each child reach their fullest potential.
Whether you're a fieldwork student, a new graduate building confidence, or an experienced therapist looking for fresh perspective, mentorship can accelerate your growth and strengthen your clinical skills.
Throughout her career, Donna has supervised, trained, and mentored hundreds of therapists while building one of the most respected pediatric therapy practices in Westchester County, New York. She understands the challenges therapists face at every stage of their career and provides practical, individualized guidance to help clinicians strengthen their skills, confidence, and clinical reasoning.
Donna offers mentorship that goes beyond theory. Through individualized consultation, therapists gain actionable strategies, deeper insight into challenging cases, improved treatment planning, stronger parent communication skills, and the confidence needed to become more effective clinicians.
