Bryon McDonald

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor at Marietta Roswell Counseling.

Are you feeling stressed and overwhelmed, down and depressed, or overcome with worry and fear? I am here to help. You've taken a big step toward your mental health and ideal future by seeking help, and I'd like to help you identify and achieve your goals. I am most passionate about helping adolescents and young adults develop their identities, mental wellbeing, and transition into who they want to be.

I understand that finding a therapist that you connect with can be a daunting task, so let me tell you a little about myself. I received my Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from the University of Kansas and my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from St. Olaf College. I completed an internship at the University of Kansas's Counseling Laboratory for the Exploration of Optimal States where I researched and counseled highly creative and gifted high school students, and my practicum at Baker University where I counseled college students on a variety of issues.

I approach therapy through a person-centered lens and utilize techniques from an eclectic mix of therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. I appreciate that every client I see is unique and special, and I work very hard to create a warm, supportive environment in which strengths are uncovered and clients are encouraged to grow.

I specialize in treating anxiety and depression, and have experience treating ADHD, mood disorders, relationship issues, identity and gender issues, adjustment disorders, sexual assault, trauma, suicidal ideation and self-harm. Regardless of what you are facing, I will help you feel safe, heard, and empowered to make positive changes in your life.
