Dr. Cassandra McDonnell, Ph.D., LCP, Outpatient Therapist 

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and provide counseling assessment services to school-aged children, adolescents, and adults. I am originally from the Northern Virginia area, and received my Bachelor of Science in psychology from The College of William and Mary. I then went on to obtain Master and Doctoral degrees at University of Missouri St. Louis with specializations in Behavioral Medicine and Child Psychology. I completed my post-doctoral training at University of Virginia, and have been practicing within Loudoun County ever since. I have provided psychological services in residential, inpatient, community, school and integrated primary care settings. I was excited to join Youth for Tomorrow in July 2018.

Clinically, I work with a wide variety of presenting issues and concerns. My specific areas of specialization include anxiety disorders, posttraumatic stress, grief and loss, and behavioral medicine concerns (such as chronic pain, insomnia, and behavioral adjustment to chronic/major medical conditions). I have additional specialization and certification in working with children and adolescents with sexual reactivity and/or sexually abusive behaviors. In counseling, I utilize an integrative cognitive-behavioral approach that incorporates acceptance, mindfulness, and values work. I am passionate about working collaboratively with individuals and families to apply evidence based treatment concepts within the context of uniquely personal patient needs and goals.

Kathleen King, MSW, Supervisee for LCSW

Hi, I’m Kathleen. I received my Master’s Degree in Social Work at the University of Pennsylvania and my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology at George Mason University. I am currently working under supervision toward becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am also under play therapy supervision and my plan is to work toward becoming a registered play therapist as I find it rewarding helping kids and their families. Some of the services I have provided while working at YFT include working with children, adolescents, adults, and families addressing a variety of issues, some of which include, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other mood and behavioral disorders. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy in addition to play therapy techniques. 

My previous experiences include working in a variety of settings including correctional facilities, elementary and middle schools, and court settings with children, adolescents, and adults. My experiences have mainly consisted of providing emotional and behavioral support, psychotherapy, and case management to individuals within in the criminal justice system. Most of my work has been centered on providing trauma informed care and helping individuals develop healthy coping skills while focusing on individual strengths. My goal is to provide a welcoming and non-judgmental space filled with compassion and support to help individuals overcome obstacles and life stressors. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with family, reading, and being outdoors with my dog. 

Kelly Davis, LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Virginia and a Licensed Certified Social Worker – Clinical (LCSW-C) in Maryland. I received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work from George Mason University and my Master Degree in Clinical Social Work from University of Maryland at Baltimore. My primary clinical focus has been working with at risk children, adolescents, young adults and families with emotional and behavioral disturbances, residing within the community and out of home residential placements. My clinical experience includes, but is not limited to treatment for anger management, anxiety, depression, attention deficit disorders, oppositional defiance and conduct disorders, substance use/misuse, trauma and attachment disorders, school problems and other mental health and behavioral challenges.

I utilize a holistic, strengths-based approach, to help individuals develop self-awareness and insight into their past and present experiences and remove obstacles to personal growth and healing. Clinically, I incorporate concepts of cognitive behavioral (CBT) and mode deactivation therapies (MDT) , with some elements of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). My overall approach is geared towards helping the individual identify, connect and bring about meaningful change, while also learning how to accept the pain that life unavoidably brings during different seasons of our lives.
