Elise McDonald, Licensed Professional Counselor

My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique experiences. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges, and stress management. I also bring a background in special education, which informs my understanding of learning differences, neurodiversity, and the importance of adapting support to meet each individual’s needs. I strive to create a safe and respectful space where you feel understood and supported as we build insight, strengthen coping skills, and focus on practical strategies that align with your goals and overall well-being.

My role as a therapist is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore your concerns with clarity and confidence. I partner with you to identify patterns, develop effective coping skills, and work toward meaningful and sustainable change. I draw from evidence-based methods that fit your needs, helping you feel empowered and equipped to navigate life?s challenges with resilience and purpose.
