Personal Statement
Hello my name is Esther McDonough I have been in the mental health field for over 25 years. I first worked as a behavior specialist for an agency in Indiana, LCAR I worked in their group homes, independent living, and in their workshops for 18 years. I then worked as a therapist first at the Suncoast Center, in St. Pete's, Florida. Then as a therapist in child welfare at KVC in Kansas City.
Therapy by the beach takes an approach by assisting people and supporting people to navigate through the storms of life. Recognizing that people can stumble on pieces of left-over shipwrecks or just get blinded when looking into the sun. Are you experiencing symptoms, crashing, or just trying to keep your head above the water?
I then worked as a therapist at a mental health agency in Michigan City Indiana, the Madison Center. Since 2010 I have been in private practice first in Missouri. At that time I also worked as a contract therapist with TRI County mental health, in addition I sat on the dialect behavior consultation team for Clay County. I am currently in private practice and have been located in Cape Coral since 7 2013. I have been licensed in 3 states. Currently licensed in Florida. I have also worked under Larry Pincus, a well known therapist for his work with multiple personalities disorders and dissociative disorders.
