Donald "Don" Fountain

Donald "Don" Fountain, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 40 years of experience as an educator and counselor, bringing a long history of supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. He retired from education in 2017 after 27 years as a high school counselor, including many years as department chair, and he also worked in the private sector as a counselor throughout the same 40-plus-year span before retiring in 2022. Over the course of his career, he has worked in several counseling practices with clients across many ages, with a focus on adolescent and adult concerns, and he has taught in graduate programs to help prepare future counselors.

More recently, he has been the owner of a preschool program serving children from six weeks to sixth grade. Don’s personal life includes profound experiences of love and loss - he and his wife were married for nearly 41 years, they raised five children, and he is a grandfather to ten grandchildren. He retired to care for his wife during her illness, and she passed away in 2022. He also experienced the loss of his youngest son on September 2, 2025. He shares that, despite these losses, he considers his life blessed and gives thanks to God each day.

In counseling, Don aims to help clients feel empowered to discover their own answers and build practical tools for a more grounded, productive life. He draws from a variety of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors his approach to each person he works with, recognizing how important balance and stability can be in an ever-changing world. He respects the courage it takes to pursue meaningful change and offers steady support for those ready to take the next step.
