Great to Meet You Hi, my name is Brenda McDonald. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor as well as a Registered Nurse with over 15 years of counseling experience. I help working professionals navigate career transitions, life/work balance, relationship issues and anxiety/depression. You and your goals will be the core of our work together. We will work at a pace comfortable for you. I believe your mental wellness is as important as your physical well-being. My approach is holistic and intuitive with occasional humor sprinkled in. Many clients tell me they feel better and are more hopeful after their first session. During the first session, you will be invited to share your story about what brings you to therapy. I believe there is power and healing in sharing your story. Story helps build rapport, trust and understanding. Many clients tell me they feel like they have been chatting with a friend and realize things about themselves they haven’t before. For me, rapport and self-awareness are good outcomes to any session.
