Trinh Macdonald

My communication style

I create a supportive and empathetic environment that fosters trust, openness, and safety. My focus is on long-term growth, self-discovery, and overall healing.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to therapy because I wanted to create a space where people could process their struggles in a safe and empathetic environment. As a woman from an ethnic background, I bring a unique understanding of how systemic issues can influence mental health. I've seen how therapeutic growth improves quality of life for the long term.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is client-centered, helping to make goals clear and motivating while allowing for flexibility and collaboration. Goal setting provides direction to help you understand your challenges, learn coping skills to find relief, and work towards a healthy quality of life.

Our first session

The first session includes an introduction, an overview of therapy structure, discussion of confidentiality, establishing rapport, conducting an assessment, identifying and setting goals, introduction to therapy concepts, and discussing next steps.
