Tawnya McDonald, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker

I am a Vermont Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker focused on the treatment of adults living with the diagnosis of cancer and beyond. In addition to my 29 years working in Academic and Clinical Social Work, I share the lived experience as a cancer survivor and recognize the courage it takes to ask for help when everything feels foreign, and the future unclear. Wherever you are in your journey with cancer, - feeling out of control, loss, disconnection, uncertainty, difficulty navigating the healthcare system, moving on after treatment with possible changes of support, experiencing “scanxiety” - I am committed to create the space and time for you to be present, to be uncensored, and to be heard. My approach is collaborative, client centered and strengths based. Together we will use a combination of therapeutic methods to teach you the skills needed to reach your goals.
