“I have been working with Katherine for almost 2 years and I have noticed a difference in my mental health. She is very attentive and always makes me feel comfortable during our sessions. Because we share a lot of things in common, I feel like she understands what I am experiencing and can recommend useful practices and habits as a result. She has always been available to assist me when I need something. I would definitely recommend Katherine to anyone I know.”

Getting to know Katherine McDonald
Hello! I'm Katherine McDonald, a licensed Mental Health Counselor with a passion for human connection. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Florida International University. My clients describe me as warm, compassionate, real, and down-to-earth. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, PTSD, and grief. With extensive experience in trauma work, I can help you heal from painful events, finding hope and renewed energy for life. In addition to working individually with teens and adults, I also practice couples therapy.
What should a new client know about working with you?
As a client-centered therapist, I will strive to understand your unique story and tailor my approach to your individual needs. Together we will explore what feels meaningful and authentic to you as well as what no longer serves you, identify and heal from life events that have led to patterns that are holding you back, and develop new ways of thinking and being that will help you thrive.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Although it can feel otherwise, you are not your anxiety or depression. Through our sessions, you will discover a greater sense of your authentic self apart from your challenges. You will gain insight into the the root cause of issues while also learning tools to manage and improve your symptoms in the present. Together we will build upon your strengths and empower you to thrive well beyond your time in therapy.

Katherine is amazing! Been with her for about two years now and I can’t thank her enough for the amount of help she’s given me! I always come out feeling better than when coming in!

Therapy can be a tough experience for many people. Starting therapy as a child is not always ideal, but Katherine made therapy everything it should be. I had 2 other therapist before Katherine and I started to lose hope, but I’m glad I gave therapy another chance.
Katherine is not just everything a therapist should be: professional, kind, and organized, but she has an X-factor- a natural talent for it. I am glad I found someone like her and I would recommended her to anyone who would ask.
