About me

Welcome,
My Name is Nancy McDonald and I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in New Mexico. I received my Masters degree from Seton Hall University in New Jersey.
I have been working in the mental health field for 30 years, both in New Mexico and in New Jersey. Living in New Mexico I have had the opportunity to work with diverse populations, including Native American, Hispanic, Caucasion and others. I have learned a lot from my clients which has made my practice all inclusive with the ability to understand the issues facing different cultures.
My approach to choosing a modality with a client will depend on the issues the client wants to explore. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Based Therapy, and Goal Oriented therapy are the approaches I like to use. Mindfulness therapy is one that I have acquired over 30 years of meditation. Mindfulness Therapy can help to keep us in the present moment, recognizing our feelings and how to deal with them if they become overwhelming.
I am empathetic and will focus on your issues. I am open to hear what you would like your particular therapy to look like.
I look forward to begin to know you and explore your concerns and thoughts.
Thank you.
Sincerely, Nancy
