Donna-Jean Owens, LCSW, MAC, CHAIS

After graduating from the University 

of Georgia with a Master's of Social Work degree, I began my counseling career working for the Department of Juvenile Justice providing supervision and comprehensive assessments for youth who had been committed to the state for behavioral issues. I then began work with adolescents and adults in both outpatient and 

residential treatment settings.

I have extensive experience working 

with clients in crisis through both a national suicide crisis hotline and providing consults to patients experiencing mental health 

and substance abuse issues in the 

hospital emergency room.

I believe that self-directed skills can help healing and wellness. I use evidenced-based person-centered treatments to help people heal, work through conflicts, enhance well-being, and find peace of mind.  

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my goal is to help clients seeking 

change, identify personal goals and learn ways  to achieve the life that they desire. I utilize primarily evidenced-based treatments to focus on issues of depression, anxiety, mood and behavior disorders.

As a Master Addiction Counselor, I have specialized training and skills 

designed specifically to help clients struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. I also specialize in working with families and loved ones of those who struggle with substance abuse, helping them support the client with 

love and compassion. 

Jax and Turbo are my co-therapists ...in training. 

Jax is our Australian Shepherd whose speciality is active listening and 

validation without judgement. He is always excited to come to work and gives clients unconditional love. His favorite activities are attention-seeking,  and getting belly- and neck-rubs. 

Turbo is our Russian Tortoise. He is always very chill and likes to soak up UVB rays on his couch while teaching clients the benefits of taking things in stride. He is master of relaxation and his favorite activities are basking and burrowing.
