MacDonald LCSW

I help adults transform themselves and their relationships to live the most fulfilling lives possible.

 

I help people who…

 

Make sure everyone is okay

You're the person that everyone goes to with their problems. You love this and you want people to know you're there for them, but what happens when you need someone? 

 

Try to do it all

You're trying to be the most empathic friend, the strongest parent, the most attentive, caring and understanding partner. There's just one problem; there's nothing left over for you. 

Hide their feelings

You’re so skilled at hiding your feelings. This leads to anxiety and stress. You’re busy with other people’s problems to distract yourself but now you’re in over your head and it’s way too much.

 

Feel exhausted

You can't stop or slow down, otherwise things won’t go as planned. You go out of your way to make things easier for others, but it makes things more complicated for you. You can’t keep up this pace.

Feel overwhelmed

If everyone else is feeling stressed, it affects your stress level, too. You want to keep it together but you have trouble setting boundaries by saying “no” or “not now” when someone needs you.

 

Always focus on others 

You're the level-headed one, the one with the good sense, so it's easy for people to seek you out for help. That’s how you like it. But when you're not helping other people, you feel exhausted and little lost.

If you’re ready for a change, I offer online therapy sessions.

It’s easy to get started.
