Specialized Counseling for Your Unique Journey
Every person's path to well-being is different. These are the areas where I offer focused, evidence-based support.
Depression & Mood Support
When darkness feels heavy and lasting, therapy can be the first step toward light. We work together to uncover roots and cultivate sustainable healing.
Trauma & PTSD Recovery
Past wounds shape present experience. Through trauma-informed care, I help clients process painful memories and reclaim a sense of safety and control.
Relationship & Family Counseling
Whether it's a partnership, family dynamic, or pattern of conflict, we explore the roots of relational challenges and build healthier ways of connecting.
Life Transitions & Grief
Loss, career changes, identity shifts, and major life events can leave us unmoored. Therapy offers a grounded space to navigate change with intention.
Self-Esteem & Personal Growth
Build a stronger, more compassionate relationship with yourself. Together we identify limiting patterns and cultivate lasting self-worth.
About
A Therapist Who Truly Listens
I am Marie Donna Ma, a Licensed Professional Counselor based in El Paso, Texas. My practice is built on the belief that every individual carries within them the capacity for healing — sometimes they just need a safe, supportive space to uncover it.
With a foundation in evidence-based approaches, I tailor each therapeutic relationship to the unique needs, background, and goals of the person sitting across from me. Whether you're managing anxiety, processing trauma, navigating a difficult transition, or simply seeking greater self-understanding, I am here to walk alongside you with warmth, respect, and genuine care.

My Approach
Therapy Rooted in Science & Compassion
I integrate several well-researched therapeutic modalities, selecting and adapting the approach that best fits your needs and pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, and stress — building practical tools for lasting change.

Trauma-Informed Care
A safe, paced approach to processing past experiences, helping you regain a sense of control and reducing the impact of trauma on your present.
03
Person-Centered Therapy
You are the expert on your own life. I provide unconditional positive regard and a nonjudgmental space for you to explore at your own pace.
04
Mindfulness & Grounding
Evidence-based techniques to help you stay present, manage overwhelming emotions, and develop a calmer, more balanced state of mind.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. I'll ask about your background, what brought you to therapy, and what you hope to achieve. It's also a chance for you to ask questions and determine if therapy with me feels like the right fit.
Insurance coverage varies, and I encourage you to call and speak with me directly about payment options, sliding scale availability, and any questions you have. I want therapy to be accessible and I'm happy to discuss what works for you.
There's no one-size-fits-all timeline. Some clients find relief in a handful of sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. We'll discuss your goals and revisit them regularly so you always know where you stand.
Absolutely. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of the therapeutic relationship. What you share in our sessions stays between us, with the limited legal exceptions that apply to all licensed therapists (such as imminent danger to self or others).
Please reach out to discuss session format options. I'm happy to talk through what might work best for your schedule, comfort level, and needs — whether that's in-person or a virtual session.
