Adult Counseling

Finding Yourself Again

You may find yourself at a crossroads—exhausted, disconnected, or questioning how to do life differently. Perhaps you’re struggling to be the partner or parent you want to be, caught in patterns that no longer serve you, or simply longing to slow down and live with more intention.

Counseling provides a space to pause, take inventory, and rebuild with clarity.

 

 

Managing Intense Emotions

Intense emotions can be powerful messengers—but when they run the show, they can leave you feeling reactive or stuck. Together, we’ll explore what your emotions are trying to tell you and build skills to respond rather than react.

Through individualized counseling, you’ll learn to:

 

• Understand and manage anxiety to move through life with more calm and control.

• Address depression to cultivate steadiness and presence.

• Recognize anger as information rather than identity, creating healthier relationships.

• Reduce overwhelm and panic so you can make confident choices.

• Strengthen awareness of how your thoughts, feelings, and actions interact—building emotional intelligence and balance.

Young Adults: Navigating Life in Transition

“Growing up” looks very different today. From college and career uncertainty to relationship pressures and independence, the transition to adulthood can feel paralyzing.

 

We help young adults:

 

• Discover personal values and strengths to guide decisions.

• Gain confidence in setting direction relationally, personally, and professionally.

• Release emotional baggage from childhood to enter adulthood lighter and freer.

• Develop skills for balance, intentional living, and resilience.

  Common concerns include step-family dynamics, college stress, ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, or simply feeling lost in the transition to independence.

 

Both Yvette McDonald and Jaimie Conway specialize in helping young adults move from confusion to clarity and from self-doubt to self-trust.

Living Well with Neurodiversity

Having a neurodivergent brain can bring exceptional strengths—and unique stressors. Together, we’ll explore how your brain works best, identify areas that need support, and create systems that honor your energy, focus, and relationships.

Our goal is to help you understand your wiring, maximize your gifts, and cultivate self-compassion while building practical strategies for everyday life.

​

Reconnecting with Self

At some point, many adults realize they’ve been living on autopilot—busy, productive, but disconnected from who they are.

 

Through reflective work, you’ll:

 

• Clarify your values and realign with what matters most.

• Establish healthy boundaries and balanced routines.

• Strengthen self-confidence, self-awareness, and self-compassion.

• Transform mindset patterns that keep you stuck.

• Build daily practices that support emotional and physical well-being.

 

It’s never too late to rediscover yourself and live in alignment with your authentic story.

Reconnecting with Food & Body

Our relationship with food and our bodies often mirrors our relationship with ourselves. When stress, shame, or emotional exhaustion drive eating patterns or body dissatisfaction, it can leave us feeling disconnected and at war within.

 

Therapy offers a compassionate space to understand these patterns without judgment, diets, or quick fixes.

 

Together, we’ll explore the emotional and physiological roots of your food relationship, reconnect you to your body’s cues, and build a foundation of nourishment rooted in balance, awareness, and self-respect.

Special Areas of Focus

 

• Attachment & Relational Patterns

• Divorce & Blended Families

• Grief & Loss Support

 

Grief and transition are deeply human experiences that don’t need to be “fixed.” As grief expert Megan Devine writes, “Some things in life cannot be fixed; they can only be carried.”

We help you carry loss with compassion, build coping tools for the waves of grief, and re-establish meaning in life at your own pace.
