Hi, I’m Ashley McDonald, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia. I have over a decade of experience working with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and the stressful effects of complicated or overwhelming life experiences. Many of the clients I work with come to see me feeling emotionally exhausted, stuck in their thoughts, or weighed down by situations they never expected to be in or carry for this long. If this is describes your current situation, you’re not alone, and we can begin your journey today. Reach out today!
My approach to therapy is warm, empathetic, and solution-oriented. I use CBT, mindfulness practices, and trauma-informed care to help you understand patterns, build healthier coping skills, and feel more grounded and hopeful. Therapy with me is collaborative and practical, focused on support while creating meaningful, lasting change.
Outside of the therapy space, you can find me cooking, traveling, and chasing after my three kids. I understand how demanding life can be, and that taking the first step toward seeking help can feel overwhelming. You’re not alone. I’m here to listen, support, and walk with you on this journey. I invite you to reach out to start your journey
