Brendan McDonald

Brendan McDonald

Therapist

Virtual • Richmond, VA


Hey! I'm Brendan (he/they), a licensed professional counselor, living and working in Richmond, Virginia. I will be offering in person appointments starting in August. My goal, in every session, is to help you reach a point of empowerment and acceptance with yourself through compassionate and playful work together. You are the expert on you, I will follow and walk along this path with you. I want to help you better understand yourself and how you wish to be. Through understanding there is compassion, through compassion there is liberation. Tsi-Ya (ᏥᏯ) means "otter" in the Cherokee Language. In life we may feel our emotions and stress in such profound ways we struggle to tread water and may find ourselves drowning and overwhelmed. Like otters, we must learn to float.
