Hello, my name is Ryan McDonald, licensed Marriage and Family Therapist located in Ventura County. I believe that the fit of the therapist to the work being done is most important. I encourage ensuring that our work together is fruitful and ultimately is what You are trying to achieve.
I work from a client centered, cognitive behavioral and strength based humanistic approach to therapy. I often pull from my client’s strengths to help create a foundation that clients can rely on when future obstacles appear. My work utilizes a solution focused and interpersonal style to achieve goals presented. In layman’s terms I utilize many parts of differing theories into one eclectic approach; I believe one size does not fit all and thus work to tailor the approach most beneficial.
My goal is to reduce the negativities that wear you down and bring out a positive and more fruitful stance on life.
