Donna Shanahan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate some of life’s most challenging transitions. With advanced training as a Certified Relational Life Therapist and additional specialty certification as a CDC Certified Divorce Coach®, Donna brings a rare depth of expertise to clients facing divorce and its aftermath.

Donna’s therapeutic approach is warm, engaged, and grounded in practical results. Drawing on her extensive background in couples and relationship work, she has developed a nuanced understanding of the relational dynamics that make divorce such a complex and deeply personal experience — not just legally or financially, but emotionally and psychologically. This understanding allows her to meet clients where they are and help them move forward with clarity, confidence, and intention.

Donna specializes in supporting individuals through the emotional and relational dimensions of divorce, with a particular focus on recovery, rebuilding, and post-divorce planning. She helps clients process the weight of this major life transition, navigate co-parenting with intention and healthy boundaries, and begin designing a meaningful vision for the life ahead. Her goal is not simply to help clients get through divorce — but to help them grow through it, arriving on the other side more grounded, more self-aware, and more fully themselves.

Donna’s dual expertise as both a licensed therapist and a certified divorce coach makes her a uniquely valuable member of any divorce support team. She understands the full landscape — emotional, relational, and practical — and brings that comprehensive perspective to every client she serves.
