A Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) since 1997, Karyn Donado brings extensive experience across diverse roles within the helping profession. She earned her Master’s Degree in Psychology with an MFT emphasis from Chapman University. Her clinical work is rooted in a client-centered and strength-based approach, utilizing therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), behavioral techniques, problem-solving, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness to meet the unique needs of those she serves. Karyn specializes in working with older children, adolescents, and adults, and has spent a significant portion of her career supporting military service members and their families in various capacities. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, childhood behavior issues, depression, and grief. She also provides support for midlife transitions, postpartum depression and anxiety, reproductive challenges, school avoidance, and women's issues. Outside of her clinical practice, Karyn values quality time with her husband, son, and their dog, Ollie. An avid traveler who has visited or lived in more than 20 countries, she continues to explore new destinations on her travel bucket list.
