Adrienne MacDonald

Adrienne MacDonald’s practice is built around one conviction: that people heal when they feel genuinely met. Drawing on a background that spans community-based direct support, postpartum doula work, and certification as a Baby-Led Sleep and Well-Being Specialist™, she arrived at psychotherapy with her understanding of human vulnerability already well-formed. That foundation shapes how she works — integrative and relational, pulling from narrative therapy, Internal Family Systems-informed approaches, somatic awareness, and mindfulness, always in service of what a particular person needs at a particular moment.

Her caseload reflects real breadth. Adrienne supports new parents navigating identity shifts and exhaustion, adults carrying childhood trauma or abuse, individuals managing anxiety, mood disorders, or substance concerns, and families working through divorce, conflict, or the demands of elder care. She works with teenagers, men, women, and older adults — people who are often dealing with more than one of these things at once.

As a mother of four, including a neurodivergent child, she brings lived experience to her clinical work alongside her formal training. She is committed to an inclusive, affirming practice and has worked with members of the LGBTQ2S+ community in subsidized, non-profit settings. Her aim in every session is the same: that clients leave feeling clearly seen and a little less alone in what they are carrying.
