Go Ask Alice ... Nationally Recognized Life Coach & Psychotherapist, Alice Donavin, LCSW Announces the Implementation of Office/House Calls to her Newly Launched Philadelphia Practice

Posted on: Monday, 5 January 2009, 15:20 CST

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Nationally recognized Life Coach & Psychotherapist, Alice Donavin, LCSW is pleased to announce the introduction of office/house calls to her newly launched Philadelphia practice.

A Licensed Clinical Social Worker, practicing as a Life Coach/Psychotherapist in Haverford, PA, and Palm Beach, Florida, Alice Donavin's specialties have included individual, couples and family therapy, co-dependency and recovery issues, interventions, addictions, issues concerning adult children of dysfunctional families, and employee assistance referrals.

Donavin's innovative, encouraging, and results-oriented coaching approach supports her clients to relieve symptoms, while helping to create a sense of well-being, personal growth, and behavior changes for improved social functioning and conflict resolution. Donavin also helps her clients to focus on life's possibilities, instead of dwelling on the limitations.

As explained by Donavin, "In coaching, the relationship is similar to that of business partners: the client is a co-partner in designing goals. In therapy; however, the relationship is less egalitarian: there is a healer-patient relationship, based on a model of illness. Coaching is based on the assumption that the client has the capacity and resources to take action."

With over 27 years of experience as a life coach/psychotherapist, Donavin has earned a reputation as an accomplished professional, not only for her directive interventions and expert communication techniques, but also for her relaxed in-depth consultations.

While Donavin still continues to perform in-office consultations, she has recently begun offering clients the option of office/house calls. "A life coach/psychotherapist may deliver pro-active, direct interventions right in your home -- just like the 'Supernanny' except, of course, you don't have to have kids," says Donavin.

"After an initial consultation, I may meet with clients in their home, my home, or any mutually agreeable setting. In this looser setting, I can observe firsthand their life, family dynamics, and the way they handle certain situations," she adds.

Alice Donavin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), practicing as a Professional Life Coach and Psychotherapist in Haverford, PA and Palm Beach, Florida. A graduate of The Seton Hill College in Greensburg, PA, and The Catholic University in Washington, DC, Donavin holds a BA in Sociology and Pre-Law, as well as an MS in Social Work.

For more information, or to schedule an initial consultation with Alice Donavin, LCSW, please contact her at: 610.585.4028 or alicedonavin@aol.com.
