I’m Samantha McDonald, an MSW intern at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota. I love working with children and adolescents ages 6–21, and I’m committed to creating a space where young people feel safe, supported, and able to explore who they are.
At Summer Counseling, I provide CTSS and enjoy bringing creativity and curiosity into my work. I often draw from play therapy, DBT, and other engaging approaches to help clients build emotional regulation skills and confidence at a pace that feels right for them.
When I’m not in session, I’m usually reading, writing, spending time outdoors, laughing at the antics of my two cats, or checking out new restaurants with my partner of almost nine years.
I’m supervised by Emily Patrick, LICSW #23646.
