Kacie Macdonald, LCSW

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with personal experience navigating life abroad and the unique pressures of global transitions, I offer culturally sensitive therapy rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care.  I specialize in navigating cultural, relational, or other life transitions which impact your sense of self. This is a space to breathe, heal, and grow — wherever you are, you don’t have to do it alone.
