Great to meet you!

I'm Yvette E. McDonald, LCSW-QS, CMNCS, NTP,I understand its challenges and am committed to helping you, your child, or your relationship embrace its gifts, reduce life's intensity, and gain confidence and emotional strength. My personal experience with autism and ADHD enriches my empathetic, innovative approach, creating a safe space for growth. Therapy is a brave step toward prioritizing mental health and self-discovery, and I specialize in a range of conditions to provide impactful, personalized support.

My approach to therapy

As a clinician I bring into our space empathy and understanding, flexibility and adaptability, innovative problem-solving, attention to detail, continuous learning, transparency, intuition, creative thinking, depth of processing, down-to-earth style, and relatable nature, which are all qualities that I truly hope to embody in our work together.

What you can expect from me

I consider success in the room when my clients are able to navigate their emotional world with confidence and awareness. Clients appreciate leaving my space feeling seen and have greater clarity and perspective on how to navigate the twists and turns in life that their season of life is currently throwing them into.
