I'd recommend these services. Great atmosphere and amazing company.

Marty Donlan is one of the nicest guys around and someone I still turn to for advice and guidance 8.5 years after first meeting him.

I’ve known Matthew for over 25 years and he is one of the strongest, extremely intelligent and most caring man. He is dedicated to his work, helping others, giving advice and a great friend. I definetely would recommend his services to anyone in need.

Donlan counseling showed me a better way to live. Changed my perspective and how I reacted/responded to tough situations. I’m sober now. I’m happy now. I see life differently. I owe Matty so much and am so grateful for him.

I highly recommend Dr. Donlan and his services. For those who are seeking therapy in these unprecedented times or are still apprehensive about trying therapy for the first time, Dr. Donlan’s approach and experience makes it easy and comfortable. He helped me openly discuss topics around my mental health I had never shared with anyone before. Life saver!

Dr. Donlon helped me open the doors to some of my biggest fears / challenges I had going on in life, doors that I never thought I could walk through.Though I couldn’t have done it without his help, he had a way of guiding me to a place in life I wanted to be without feeling like it was being done for me. That sense of accomplishment and freedom is one of the greatest gifts I have today. Even years later I still use tools he has taught me. I cannot say enough about his services and him as a person.

Dr. Donlan is a superb mental health provider, with an expertise in the treatment of substance use disorders. His clinical expertise supports and guides his patients to substance abuse recovery and remission, while also addressing comorbidity with other mental health conditions. If you are seeking a compassionate, knowledgeable and accessible provider, Dr. Donlan is the provider you are looking for. I have known Dr. Donlan and witnessed the evolution of his career for over 14 years, and continue to be both impressed and inspired by his work.

When you go to Donlan Counseling, expect compassionate, fair, safe and honest treatment. You can rest easy that you or your loved one will be cared for like one of their own.

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Donlan. I worked with him for several years and witnessed first hand his compassion and belief in our patients suffering from substance use disorder. His ability to listen without judgement or attitude made a huge difference to our patients daily lives. He is smart, kind and doesn’t waste time when it comes to getting things done. He was always present and willing to listen and offer advice. I would not hesitate to refer him to anyone suffering from addiction.

Matty is an amazing counselor. I had him myself a few years back and highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Donlan played a pivotal role, as a mentor, friend, and a voice of reason in my life and recovery. I highly recommend anyone who is at a crossroad, or is having difficulty sorting through the confusion in their lives, to seek Dr. Donlan’s help.

I would highly recommend Dr. Donlan and his team to any of my family and friends. Very caring and professional.

They really saved my life. They’re caring and understanding because they listen and empathize. They always gave me great advice and helped me with any problem no matter how big or small it felt. Highly recommended.

Matt is a true professional that cares deeply about his clients. He is a wealth of knowledge and has the expertise to guide you through whatever challenges you are facing. I have worked with him for many years and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

I can’t recommend Matty enough as a therapist. He has an amazing way at connecting with his clients without judgement. He makes each person feel safe and worthy of recovery. He will be real with you and you know his care is genuine. Matty goes above and beyond to advance his skills in order to be the best therapist and keep up with the progressive changes in our society.

Therapy with Matt at Donlan counseling! Truly revolutionized my existence and made me feel like a new man!

Matt is amazing and has provided me With a safe environment to work on my past trauma and everyday stress. That is the past has severely hindered my ability to succeed in society. I am so grateful to him and his staff. It’s taken years to find a Place like this.

Dr. Donlan is an excellent therapist. His ability to disarm and and engage his patients allows you to get straight to the core of the matter. The environment is friendly and welcoming without even the slightest hint of judgement. Here a person is made to feel safe above all. He creates a space where breakthroughs and growth are not only possible but likely.

It’s been a pleasure knowing Matty since 2004 And his work in the field and educational credentials and experience put him at the top tier in this practice Over the years I’ve seen him help literally thousands of people and highly recommend his services It’s a real game changer…amazing

I was introduced to (pre) Dr. Donlan in 2007 when I first came into recovery and he has been a constant guide for me ever since. The value Dr. Donlan adds is real life experiences that I can identify with making him stand out from other counselors. Dr. Donlan uses his shared struggles forming a special connection during our sessions.

Matty was a huge part in the start of my journey in recovery. Today God willing I have almost 7 years of sobriety. Matty was able understand and relate to me on my level. He cared and let me know everything is going to be ok. He helped me by showing me the tools to move forward in my life. To be honest I can’t say enough about Matt and his counseling. Thank you Matty!!

Matty Donlan is an amazing counselor & truly cares about not only his clients but works with the families as well (if that’s something you’d like to do I’d highly suggest it!) Willing to help families better understand whatever it is that you may be dealing with, which for me is what I needed at the time because my family had that concept of why can’t you just stop using, he was able to deliver a clear message to them so they could better understand addiction at least a little more. Matt truly helped me in more ways than he will ever know and I’ll be forever grateful for him. Highly suggest reaching out to Matty for help.

Overall my experience with counselor Matty Donlan was absolutely sincere.Matty was straight to the point and he took the time to make me feel comfortable which has always been a struggle for me especially coming from the world of addiction. I have literally trained myself to not trust anyone Ever.Mr. Donlan also made me feel like at that moment I was his only concern and that to me was invaluable. I highly recommend anyone serious about getting their life back and trying to heal from the pain and guilt that comes with addiction should open up their heart and soul and allow Matty Donlan to teach and show them that they no longer have to suffer in silence.Im forever greatful forMatty and what he has shown me.I know I have a long way to go but now atleast I know I'm not alone.Thank You Matty for given me the confidence to work on myself and hopefully someday be able to help others do the same.like Mr Donlan said to me " It all starts with forgiven and loving yourself" If you want to feel like you matter and feel like your worth it then pick up the phone you will not be disappointed I promise you

Extremely professional and easy to communicate with. Matty genuinely cares about his patients feelings and progress. Highly recommended to anyone in need of counseling services.

I have personally seen Dr. Donlan’s dedication to his clients, I have witnessed numerous success stories among those he treated. His professionalism, honesty and experience allow for him to treat not only those suffering from addiction but mental health, marital issues and other issues. Please, if you need help do not hesitate too reach out to Dr. Donlan - you won’t be disappointed

I couldn’t recommend Matthew enough. He’s extremely professional, compassionate and intelligent. I feel his lived experiences really allow him to provide the help and tools that are great for mental/substance disorders. I personally look at him as a real role model in my life.

Matt is a caring and seasoned professional. I have know him for many years and patients always have positive experiences with him.

This is the place after many attempts of trying to sort out my life and get sober ( and maintain a healthy life), Matt knew things were not going to get fixed overnight. He help me slow down and commit to a positive plan with achievable results with his guidance we worked on things ( that I thought didn’t matter) that set me up for a quality of life “ Second to none “ Donlan Counseling I wouldn’t leave home without Thank you Matty

Very professional and responsive to a patients needs.

After years of substance abuse, my best friend (basically a brother) was literally on his last life. He never found anyone he could relate to and I had tried to help as much as I could but I wasn’t aware of how deep his depression and substance abuse actually went. He could barely leave the house! After receiving help from Donlan Counceling, I noticed a huge change and finally he began to open up to me even more, and I finally have my best friend back. I just wanted to thank this company because nothing else helped him more with his depression.

Dr. Donlan is a great doctor who cares a lot about his patients. Would highly recommend.

The services offered by Mr Donlan and team are above what I expected. I have tried various paths of treatment and nothing really impacted me to the same degree as the efforts of this team. I am grateful for Donlan Counseling.

Great guy amazing at his job !!

If it wasn’t for Donlan Counseling who knows where I would be. Today I am living a healthy substance free lifestyle . I have a family now, good job , kids , living a life beyond my wildest dreams. Highly recommend Donlan Counseling

I have known Dr. Donlan For over a decade. His understanding of behavioral health issues, combined with his vast experience in multiple modalities in the behavioral health field, are just a thumbnail pic of why I wouldn’t hesitate to refer a client to his office. His unfettered commitment to the recovery process for his clients is palpable.

Professional, felt I was understood and related too, not just practicing what's written in books. Felt very comfortable in all aspects of there approach to counseling.

I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Donlan and his professionalism and compassion are beyond reproach.

Dr. Donlan brings his lived experience, professional knowledge along with his passion for his clients to all his interaction with others. His own personal triumphs are an inspiration. I have been a clinician and clinical director for many years and can highly recommend Dr. Donlan to clients seeking treatment.

This is one the few places, if not the only place, I would send a loved one who was in need of counseling. Matty is professional, personable, experienced, and above all, KIND. I was a patient of Matty’s and can say without reservation, he was the most effective and influential counselor I have ever had. Matty made me feel worthy of the care I was being provided, and worthy of a better life. Matty’s approach to treatment, in my opinion, is top-notch. He is able to provide evidence-based interventions that intersect with his lived experience. Matty provided me with hope and helped me believe in myself again. It is because of the kind and compassionate care I received that I went back to school to finish my bachelors and went on to attain a Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work. Matty inspired me to help others and helped me see my true potential. You will not be disappointed in the care you receive at Donlan Counseling Services.
