Jasmine McDonald

My communication style

My communication style is warm, compassionate, and direct. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and understood. I balance empathy with honest feedback, helping clients gain insight, build confidence, and work toward meaningful growth and healing.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist started with a simple truth: people have always found their way to my office, couch, or phone for support. After earning my Master’s from USC, I spent 12 years in case management and 7 years in mental health. Listening, supporting, and helping others grow has always felt like exactly where I’m meant to be.

My goals for you

I help clients identify meaningful goals that align with their values and needs. Together, we break goals into manageable steps, celebrate progress along the way, and work through challenges with support, compassion, and practical tools that encourage lasting growth and positive change.

Our first session

In our first session, you can expect a calm, welcoming space where you don’t have to have everything figured out. I’m here to listen, get to know you, and understand what’s bringing you in. We’ll talk through what you’re experiencing at your own pace, and begin identifying what support might feel most helpful for you.

I identify as...

• Female
• Black or African American
