Kristin Donato

Family and Marriage Therapist

Kristin Donato is a licensed family and marriage therapist and DreamCoach® with over 10 years of experience. Her training includes work with Julie Gottman and The Gottman Institute, Esther Perel & Terry Real, The High Conflict Institute, and much more. As a counselor and coach, Kristin works with couples, individuals, teens, and families with a focus on leaning into conflict and strengthening intimacy. From her experience, she has developed a unique framework for repairing relationships. She has created multiple mother-daughter workshops focused on topics ranging from middle school girls’ relationship with social media and identity to “Sex, Dating and Relationships” for high-school girls. Kristin believes therapy can be “fun,” despite hard conversations, leading to self recognition, empathy, and compassion. Kristin Donato even transformed her own disgust-filled, divorce-bound marriage into an extraordinary bond of 24 years. This has led her to believe there is no relationship that she can’t fix. She has been featured in GritDaily and MatadorNetwork, and has a book in the works. This former Silicon Valley single has led many lives herself, and finds purpose in helping others transform theirs.
