Specialized Trauma Therapy for those who carry the weight of strength.
100% online sessions for individuals, couples, veterans, and first responders across Florida.
Trauma doesn’t always look like what people imagine. Sometimes it’s the quiet weight you’ve carried for years, the way you keep pushing through when no one else can. You’ve learned to stay strong but that same strength can make it hard to slow down and heal.
In therapy, we work together to untangle the impact of trauma, rebuild safety in your body and relationships, and find calm within the chaos.
I specialize in helping veterans, first responders, athletes, and couples heal from trauma, attachment wounds, and betrayal so they can move forward with clarity and confidence.
Your Therapist Paris
I’m Paris McDonald, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and U.S. Army Veteran. I specialize in trauma, relationships, and couples work, with a clinical approach grounded in evidence-based practice and shaped by real-world experience.
My work blends clinical precision with deep empathy because healing is never one-size-fits-all.
“Every story, nervous system, and relationship carries its own history, and therapy should honor that complexity.”
My goal is to help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been buried by survival, service, or success, so you can move through life with greater clarity, connection, and agency.
MY APPROACH TO THERAPY
Real, Practical, Evidence-Based
You’ll get strategies backed by science such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement and Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) tailored to your needs.
Direct but Compassionate
Therapy with me isn’t about talking in circles. It’s about real conversations that lead to change.
Healing That Fits Your Life
All sessions are 100% online for flexibility, privacy, and consistency. Wherever you are in Florida.
Specialities
Healing from individual, sexual, or attachment trauma through Eye Movement & Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT).
Repairing trust, improving communication, and rebuilding connection after infidelity or disconnection.
Helping veterans, first responders and high performers manage pressure and perform at their peak.
Virtual Therapy That Meets You Where You Are
All sessions are offered virtually through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform so you can access therapy from anywhere that feels safe and comfortable.
Whether you’re balancing a demanding career, parenting, or constantly on the move, online therapy removes barriers and allows flexibility without compromising quality.
Virtual EMDR and trauma therapy are just as effective as in-person sessions. Many clients find they feel more relaxed, open, and consistent when meeting from home.
If you’ve been waiting to start therapy because of location or scheduling, virtual sessions make it easier to begin on your terms.
