Mr. William K. McDonald

I've been doing this work for 32 years now, and still love it. Also, I'm used to being successful at what I do. The challenge for me is people's "inside" language - what takes place beneath awareness. This is like the language of poetry and myth. I then translate between the worlds of "problem reality" and the deeper emergent Self - which is why I find this work rewarding. In working with couples I seek to translate the language (hopes and dreams) of each to that richer place between and behind - where hope becomes real.

I'm a "talk therapy" person. The inherent power of language to penetrate and bring about deep change is the fine art of the therapist. My background as an Episcopal clergyman, and a long-time pilgrim in the mind-set of indigenous cultures helps keep this pump well primed.

Every individual client and couple is unique, and I honor them for their courage, and the way they in turn challenge me to new insights. My skills in storytelling and hypnosis helps me. I'm also aware of the special gifts of being a male therapist.
