Greetings!My name is Dr. Nicole Donato. However, please feel free to call me Nicole. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am a life-long lover of knowledge evident by my two master degrees and PhD in Psychology. Additionally, I knew as a teenage girl that I wanted to become a therapist. Thus, since 2006 I have been licensed as a professional counselor.When I started college, I never dreamed of a day that technology would offer a conduit upon which effective therapy services could be provided. Thus, I enjoy working collaboratively with clients through remote counseling to heal emotional disturbances.
