About me
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much!”
Hello!
My name is Donya and my goal is to inspire hope; and assist clients to heal and change within themselves and within their relationships. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I earned my Master’s in Clinical Counseling/Marriage and Family from University of Northern Colorado in May 2010. I have over fifteen years of experience in working with mental health, personal crisis, and relationships. I have worked with couples, families, individuals, and groups of all ages on issues ranging from addiction, anxiety, blended family, communication, depression, divorce, domestic violence, grief/loss, infidelity, parenting issues, relationship issues, self-esteem, sexual dysfunctions, trauma and many more. I have also worked with veterans, front line workers and/or clients who just simply struggle with stress and the frustrations of life.
I have worked in private practice, community settings, residential and outpatient settings of a Community Mental Health Center and a domestic violence facility. I would describe my approach to therapy as eclectic, drawing on a variety of modalities to best serve my client’s needs and goals. The modalities that have proven most useful are: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-based Therapy, Person Centered Therapy; Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Systemic Therapy.
I believe therapy/counseling is a partnership and the most important aspect of the partnership is trust. I look forward to building a unique partnership with you, while gaining your trust. Taking the step to research and seek out a therapist is a very courageous step. I await with pleasure to work with you towards hope, healing, and change!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Donya Franklin. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
My husband and I absolutely love and appreciate Mrs. Donya! She is patient, understanding, zero bias, fair, a great listener and all around outstanding marriage counselor !! We have come along way over these past 10 months with her!!
She is great for my husband and I.
Donya, I’ve enjoyed our conversations hopefully we get to continue. You’ve been great.
Donya has been so helpful to us, and a very important part of this process.
I have had a very good experience talking to Donya Franklin. She guided me every step of the way and the best solution lay within myself. She got me to think the way I should think and what my goals are and how to achieve them.
Amazing
A good sounding board
