Ms Donna Prinzmetal

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“I am warm, respectful and attentive, with a good sense of humor. I am a poet and believe in the healing power of creative expression.”

About Me

I offer a warm, respectful, and attentive space, bringing a good sense of humor to our work. As a poet, I deeply believe in the healing power of creative expression. If you're a couple or family navigating complex emotions, I invite you to explore new ways to voice your experiences. We can gently uncover insights and build stronger connections, moving beyond words when needed. This approach helps you find clarity and renewed understanding together.

Approach

I offer in-person work in Portland keeping a pace that fits your life. Together we track patterns in thoughts, emotions and interactions, experimenting with small practices between sessions—a line of poetry, a brief check-in, or a relational experiment—that translate into clearer choices and steadier connection. People facing transitions, anxiety, or relationship strain often find this way steadying.
