At times life’s struggles can lead to a need to adjust to things thrown your way unexpectedly. When feelings of anxiety, sadness or adjustments become overwhelming, we may benefit from an objective partner to help us think things through and sort out our choices. Eugene McDonald, MA LLC specializes in working with Black, BIPOC, African American teens and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, chronic health concerns, work related issues and life transitions.

Over his thirty years in the field, he has worked in the community, schools, detention facilities, youth placement and adult mental health facilities. He has worked with teens struggling with delinquency & identity, adults dealing with depression, career instability and other life concerns. In these areas he has used DBT, mindfulness, CBT, SFBT and ACT.
