In Person in Georgetown and Telehealth
Kendra McDonald, LSWAIC
Pronouns: she/her
I believe that therapy should be a collaborative effort between the therapist and client and that therapy works best when the relationship has a strong foundation of trust and respect going both ways. I believe that every client is deserving of the same level of confidentiality and respect from me regardless of their age or reason for seeing me.
My approach...
The way I do therapy puts the clients needs and wellness over everything else. I want to help people do their best and live the best life that they are capable of in this moment in time. I tell all my clients, from age 5 to 95, that they are always able to tell me what they want or need and that “no” is a full sentence in our sessions.
I am neurodivergent myself and believe that in the therapy room we should always be able to discuss what it is like being neurodivergent without masking- forgetting the strict rules of the outside world. I believe this helps people of all neurotypes find their own way forward in society. Even if we can not change it, we can always ask why, and see how we can make it work for us.
Kendra is in-network with Premera, Cigna, Regence, Aetna, First Choice, Kaiser, LifeWise, Anthem and some other Blue Cross plans.
Professional training & memberships...
I am a associate licensed clinical social worker with training specializing in neurodiversity, OCD and the family system. I have over 5 years of experience working within schools in special education classrooms and in the role of school counselor. I have 5 years experience working with foster children who have ADHD, ASD and ODD both within their foster homes and during reunification or adoption. I have 3 years of experience in play therapy as well as CBT and CBT for adults and teens.
