ABOUT ME

 ”Make no mistake about it - this woman gets
results! I grew up severely abused by a psychotic
mother & an ineffectual father. I was totally
confused, in pain, unable to think clearly, to take
care of myself, or to work. With Donna Torbico’s
help I’ve come to have self-esteem, found out I’m
really smart & am using my artistic talents for the
first time! I highly recommend her. She’s like a
hidden treasure, waiting to be discovered.”

 "Therapy with Donna Torbico over the past two
years has helped me become a lot happier. Her
expertise in numerology, astrology and Myers-Briggs
personality types has helped me find out who I am.
She's also hipped me to a number of professionals
who have been very instrumental in my healing.
She is a warm, funny, compassionate witness to my
process.”

 “I spent the first 35 yrs of life being afraid of things
I couldn’t identify & running away from myself. I
thank my lucky star & Higher Power that I met Donna
Torbico & became familiar with her ‘Knowledge is
Power’ class. My years of therapy with her
have changed my life in ways I could not have
imagined. Donna’s insight & patience, her listening
& teaching skills - place her far above anyone I’ve
ever met.”

 “...your clarity, patience & unconditional support
have been an anchor to me as I walk the tumultuous
path to some sort of sanity & peace. You have
taught me things that have changed my life ...
especially about my Inner Child. I will always be
grateful to you. You were born to do what you do.
Anyone who has the experience of working with you
will be truly blessed. Thank you, Donna Torbico, for
sharing your gifts, your knowledge & your time.”

TESTIMONIALS

“Historians indicate significant eras using
markers such as A.D. and B.C. To indicate the
most critical turn in the events of MY life - the
very moment when my good fortune and positive
karma began - I would use the marker D.T.
(Donna Torbico).

For the first 44 years of my life, I suffered and
struggled through life - the life of an Adult-Child
in the world, without recovery. Although I had
been in therapy on & off, it wasn't until I took a
workshop with Donna that my real work of
healing began.

For some lucky children, the relationship they
engender with their healthy parents and other
family members provides them a clear, positive
map of the world. It is through steady,
unconditional love & moral example that these
children thrive and grow into secure adults,
capable of negotiating the stresses & joys of life.

I did not have that kind of beginning. Until I found
myself in Donna's workshop 12 years ago, I
believed that I had caused my mother and
father to neglect & abuse me, so I spent the
remainder of those 44 years aligning my mind
and behavior with their cruel messages.

But that was before the critical moment in
my life - D.T.
In weekly sessions with Donna, I have learned a
new language - the language of Recovery. I no
longer believe the relationship I had with my
family is the most valid one in my life, albeit
definitely the most destructive.

The work we have done together is nothing less
than a kind of transpersonal / spiritual brain and
heart surgery.

I believe that our Higher Power works through
great healers. By availing ourselves of their
wisdom we have the possibility to heal from
parental abuse - by retraining our thinking,
learning to trust and love, changing our behavior
patterns & finding safe, healthy relationships.

Through the sacred relationship I've had with my
great healer, Donna, a profound emotional &
spiritual path has unfolded for me.
I am forever grateful for her teachings that have
created a sane, positive & useful map of the
world for me.”
