Speaking & Media Inquiries

I’m passionate about sharing my knowledge, clinical expertise, and lived experience to inspire, educate, and empower others. I am available for speaking engagements, workshops, podcast interviews, media features, and blog collaborations.

Whether you’re planning a conference, community event, wellness retreat, or virtual panel, I bring a warm, honest, and informed perspective to conversations around mental health, personal growth, and healing—especially as they relate to women of color.

To book me for your next event or media feature, please reach out to bookdonnisha@clinical-ish.com with the details of your request.

  • Mental Health & Wellness

    I speak openly about the realities of mental health—especially within communities of color—offering insight, validation, and strategies for navigating anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, and more. These talks aim to reduce stigma and encourage a holistic approach to wellness.

    Therapy is more than just talking—it's a powerful tool for transformation. I explore what it means to grow, heal, and reclaim your life through self-awareness, emotional insight, and boundary-setting.
