Are you stressed, anxious and stuck? Are you caught in patterns of spiraling and then spinning your wheels? Do you feel weighed down by feeling like you're never enough? I get it. And if you're ready, I can help you figure it out. Maybe you want practical skills to help regulate your emotions, or communicate more effectively, or be more self-motivated. Perhaps you want more clarity in your relationships, or to be more decisive and effective. I can help you understand your brain and, I hope, start treating yourself with a bit more kindness - because we could all use more of that!
I'm a trauma-informed therapist and ADHD Clinical Services Provider. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Positive Psychology, Self-Compassion, and Parts work. Together we'll identify blind spots, clarify your core values, and develop skills such as self-awareness, emotion regulation, planning and prioritizing, and assertive communication skills.
In order to heal and grow, we need to feel emotionally safe. This means feeling seen, heard, and understood. This is my first priority. I'll do my best to ensure you feel respected, valued and safe. If you're ready to create meaningful change, I'd love to work with you. Please reach out with any questions, or to book a free consultation.
Call or Janet McDonald now for a free 15 minute consultation - (709) 200-0156

My central treatment model is ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). It's a newer form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy that aims to increase Psychological Flexibility. When we're tense and rigid, we remain stuck in old cognitve, emotional and behavioural patterns. When we're more flexible, we can relax and shift toward more self-directed and adaptive responses.
