Practicing since: 2000 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carolyn McDonald graduated from University of Maryland with a Master\u2019s degree in Social Work. She is continually inspired by the ongoing research that shapes our understanding of mental wellness and the connection between mind and body. This significant connection allows Carolyn to help clients understand how nutrition, exercise, sleep, and other lifestyle choices can positively influence mental health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carolyn enjoys supporting women through every stage of life, with a particular passion for helping women navigate the perimenopausal and menopausal years. She understands how life becomes increasingly complex, which causes many women to find themselves balancing multiple responsibilities while navigating significant life changes. Using her passion for connecting mind and body, Carolyn utilizes evidence-based practices to assist clients with creating lasting healing and resilience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clients can expect a compassionate, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic relationship where they feel heard, understood, and encouraged every step of the way. Carolyn\u2019s goal is to help each person feel better emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Her practice is guided by the belief that every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and resilience. She strives to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel genuinely seen and valued. Carolyn views mental health as deeply connected to physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being, recognizing that meaningful, lasting change often begins by caring for the whole person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
