I am now offering Telebehavioral Services due to the pandemic and if interested contact me directly.
Welcome to the web site for the Coastal Psychology & Education Associates, the therapy practice of Donna Ignelzi-Ferraro. Donna Ignelzi-Ferraro is a licensed psychologist practicing in Millsboro, DE. She specializes, and is certified, in several forms of outpatient therapy including cognitive behavioral therapy, structural family therapy, clinical hypnotherapy and telebehavioral health. She is licensed as a psychologist in the state of Deleware and has earned the Certificate of Professional Qualification in Psychology.
She
assists adolescents and adults who seek assistance in overcoming
anxiety, depression, life's stressors, and relationship issues.
As a licensed psychologist, Dr. Ignelzi-Ferraro also conducts
comprehensive psychological evaluations. Cognitive behavioral
therapy is present-focused and goal oriented. It involves
collaboration between client and therapist. It is the most
effective treatment for most mood and anxiety disorders. Structural
family therapy examines the interactions between family members
and looks at the functioning of the family. Clinical hypnotherapy
is used for weight management, smoking cessation, phobias,
stress release, and other issues.
Regular office hours are between 9 AM and 1 PM on Tuesday and Wednesday. Appointment times are available outside of regular office hours by request. When Dr. Ignelzi-Ferraro is with a client, she is not immediately available by telephone.
When Dr. Ignelzi-Ferraro is unavailable, her telephone is answered by an answering service (voice mail that she monitors frequently). Dr. Ignelzi-Ferraro will make every effort to return your call on the same day you make it, with the exception of weekends and holidays. If you are difficult to reach, please provide a phone number and a time when you are available.
In emergencies, you can contact Dr. Ignelzi-Ferraro at 410-430-5754(c). If you are unable to reach your therapist and feel that you cannot wait for a return call, contact your family physician or go to the nearest emergency room and ask for the psychologist or psychiatrist on call. (See Emergency & Suicide Threat Policy). If I am unavailable for an extended time, I will provide you with the name of a colleague to contact if necessary.
