Donna Kasper

Donna Kasper is a dedicated Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and National Certified Counselor with a Master’s Degree in Science, specializing in counseling. She offers a compassionate therapeutic program that utilizes animals, primarily horses and dogs, alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused Therapy. This unique approach significantly enhances both the mental and physical health of adults and children facing challenges such as disabilities, trauma from sexual and domestic abuse, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Through her guidance, clients experience improvements in overall functioning, self-esteem, assertive skills, and impulse control, all while learning to nurture those who cannot voice their needs.

Donna brings extensive experience to her practice, having served as a foster parent and in various roles, including foster care case manager and the Director of a Child Welfare Agency. The animals at Alternative Counseling Solutions are all rescues, contributing to a nurturing environment. Notably, Vegas, a rescue horse, has been a part of the counseling program for the past eight years, and Montana, another rescue horse, has joined the team for three years. Additionally, Baby, a therapy dog, is currently working towards her certification, further enriching the therapeutic experience for clients seeking support in handling issues like anxiety, depression, family conflict, and emotional disturbances.
