Kathy Donovan, LCSW Second Nature Blue Ridge- young adults |
Kathy Donovan has spent most of her professional career specializing in post-traumatic stress, reactive attachment, depression and anxiety disorders in children, adolescents and young adults.
Her clinical work includes: desensitization and exposure techniques to reduce debilitating stress and trauma responses, skills to detect and reverse nervous system distress, resilience training, social and leadership skill development and methods for developing greater self-awareness. In recent years Kathy is best known for her work with clinically complex adolescents and young adults who have "stalled" developmentally, leaving them ill-prepared for successful transition into adulthood.
We are thrilled to welcome Kathy back in a clinical role at Second Nature!!
