Meet Chelsea McDonald, MS, BCCT, CCATP

For over 30 years, I have been walking alongside individuals and couples through seasons of anxiety, trauma, and relationship struggles. Counseling for me isn’t just a career — it’s a calling. I believe deeply in offering a safe, compassionate space where people feel seen, understood, and supported.

My approach combines years of clinical expertise with a genuine love for continued learning, ensuring that I bring the most effective, evidence-based tools to every session. What drives me is a passion for helping people heal, grow, and discover new strength for their journey.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or searching for peace, I would be honored to walk with you.

For nearly two years, Chelsea McDonald has supported my daughter with anxiety, ADHD, academics, and self-image while guiding me as a parent. Her care has strengthened our bond, given us hope, and been a true blessing in our lives.
