Kate MacDonald

You’re living for the to-do list while your own needs collect dust. Feeling like the “strong one” everyone relies on—but silently unraveling inside. Imagine taking up space in your own life. Feeling calmer, clearer, and more connected to yourself. Living with less pressure and more presence. Whether you’re stuck in anxiety, burnout, or the loop of perfectionism, I’ll help you get out of survival mode and into a life that actually feels like yours. I’m Kate MacDonald, a Registered Psychologist and calm-in-the-storm kind of therapist. I specialize in helping ambitious, high-achieving women who look like they’ve got it all together—but feel anything but. I combine actionable tools from CBT, ACT, and EMDR to help you actually change—not just cope. You’ll walk away from each session with something tangible to try, reflect on, or reframe, so growth keeps happening, even between sessions. You’ll never have to lead the session or figure it out alone. I bring strategy, structure, and deep compassion to every conversation. Why wait? → The overwhelm doesn’t go away—it just gets heavier. → You keep saying "next week," but nothing changes. → The burnout starts showing up in your health, relationships, and work. → You stay in survival mode, missing out on joy. → Your needs keep getting bumped to the bottom of the list—again. → The longer you wait, the louder that inner critic gets. I am ready to help you take charge and make the changes you deserve. I have over a decade of experience helping women shift from burnout and anxiety to confidence and calm. With no waitlists and no wasted time in sessions, I'm here for you now. Reach out to schedule a free consultation to see if we are a good fit together.
