Marsha Mcdonald, LCSW — Therapist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Marsha!

My approach is practical and solution-focused. I see therapy as a collaboration between the therapist and the client, where we work together to address your unique needs and goals.

My focus

I have a special commitment to working with young adults and women who are experiencing emotional and psychological issues related to reproductive health, women's issues, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

My approach

I utilize a strengths-based perspective and client-centered approach, drawing from several modalities including CBT and Motivational Interviewing to suit each unique client's needs.

My communication style

Being a therapist allows me to center my engagements and conversations around empathy and compassion, while keeping my clients accountable, empowered, and inspired to live a well-balanced, authentic life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I knew in my early teens that I wanted to serve others after witnessing how quickly things can alter in one’s life due to circumstances beyond their control. The dynamics of a family can change in an instant when dealing with grief and loss.

My goals for you

We'll identify your goals together and build on your strengths to create practical strategies. I'll support you in developing tools that fit your life, helping you move toward the changes you want to see.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. I'll ask about your goals and concerns, and we'll begin exploring how we can work together to support your well-being.
