About the Founder
Emma Donovan is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Board Certified Holistic Nutritionist, and functional medicine–trained clinician with nearly a decade of experience in the mental health field. Her passion for holistic healing began long before her clinical work, shaped by global studies in yoga, mindfulness, and shamanism. She spent over a year living and working in Thailand, developing holistic education programs and integrating mind-body practices into therapy.
Emma founded the Holistic & Functional Psychology Institute to bridge science and spirituality by equipping mental health professionals with the tools to deliver truly transformative care. She believes in uniting what should never have been separated: mind and body, heart and brain, energy and matter, ancient wisdom and modern research.
Through this work, Emma empowers clinicians to expand their impact and fulfillment by offering care that is effective, evidence-based, and aligned with their values and sustainable healing.
