Relationship and Betrayal Counseling
If you are here, you may be feeling unheard, disconnected, or unsupported in your romantic relationship. I understand that this is a painful time.
As a certified Gottman therapist, I offer a range of relationship counseling interventions that have been proven to promote healthy relationships. You will need to put in the work and practice the tools you will learn in our sessions.
If this is your goal, it's time to schedule a consultation.
There's nothing more fulfilling in therapy than watching two people find each other again.
Julie Schwartz Gottman
Experiencing challenges in your relationship can be both uncomfortable and isolating. Creating a healthy relationship takes effort, patience, and a unique set of tools.
With 25 years of experience as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am proud to be one of the few certified Gottman therapists in Alabama. I enjoy working with couples on intimacy and sexual issues, betrayal and affair recovery, and with premarital couples.
Engaging in relationship counseling with me will require dedication and an open mind for learning and practicing new skills. You deserve the opportunity to strengthen your relationship.

What my colleagues are saying
I trust Dondra's experience, expertise, skillfulness, and ethical decision-making as a Gottman therapist. If I weren't her colleague, I'd want her as my therapist for relationship counseling. She and I collaborate often, and I truly admire her.
Lucianna Silva, LMFT, PhD
I had the pleasure of working alongside Dondra for several years at an EAP, where her skills as a Gottman therapist truly shined. Her insight, compassion, knowledge, and directness allowed her to partner with her clients (and colleagues) in a meaningful way, especially in the realm of relationship counseling. A+!
