Mary McDonald is a California registered therapist and licensed teacher with a master's degree in both fields. Mary studied counseling psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute, which trains their therapists to attune to what influences people without their conscious awareness. She speaks about and specializes in treating people who struggle with women's issues including trauma, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), and hormone imbalance. Using a feminist approach to psychotherapy, she has helped those who struggle with patriarchal oppression find their voice, strength, and inner wisdom. Through her own personal journey to work through PMDD, bulimia, and depression, she found that art, ritual, and depth therapy were necessary tools in empowering her to overcome the side effects of hormonal dysregulation.
