LCSW, 9 years of experience
Hello my name is Mitchell McDonald, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of Tennessee, Oregon and Hawaii. I have practiced at a masters level since 2016. I have experience helping clients with substance use issues, repairing relationships, managing anxiety, depression and many other issues. I seek to help empower clients to live life to the fullest.
In our first session I will introduce myself and ask questions to better familiarize myself with your presenting issues in order to have a collaborative discussion on how I can best help you going forward.
I believe that my strengths based approach allows me to help create a plan for any client to increase their wellbeing. I have 9 years of experience in therapy and am familiar with a variety of mental health issues and treatment modalities.
I have experience working with clients of all age ranges from infants to senior citizens. I have worked with clients with substance use issues, depression, anxiety, trauma related issues and many more issues. I have worked with clients with of multiple races, ethnic groups, religions sexual orientations, gender identities and political affliations.
I have used CBT in practice for the past 5 years. I have used this modality working with kids and adults in a variety of settings and for multiple issues.
I have used Solution Focused therapy for the past 7 years in a variety of settings to treat multiple issues. I love how the approach focuses on a client's strengths.
