Mary Donaldson, AMFT

My clients describe me as:

an advocate, a guide, a validator, a supporter, a collaborator, and a sounding board.

Something to know about my approach is:

With a collaborative and authentic approach, I'll both challenge you and honor your pace. I’m not a fixer, but I draw from evidence-based and trauma-informed care to help you help yourself.

Together, we will:

set goals: what would you like to get out of therapy? what would progress look and feel like? As treatment unfolds, we'll check in: are you closer to your goals? do we need to adapt to barriers? We will tailor interventions to your unique needs.

I specialize in working with people who:

are navigating family conflict, identity, anger, & trauma. I specialize in relationships - the ones between you & others, you & yourself, and even the one between you & me. Teens are my focus, but I also see adults, romantic partnerships, & families!

More about me and my practice:

Research has shown that the best predictor of positive outcomes in therapy is the relationship between therapist and client. With this at the center of our work, my hope is for you to feel safe, supported, and understood.
