WHAT’S POSSIBLE —

Secure, loving connection is the cornerstone of mental health. And you can create it.

IS THIS YOU?

You’re not broken.
You’re stuck.

Are you feeling unloved and disconnected?
Constantly criticized?
Do you and your partner have the same argument over and over, with nothing ever truly resolved?
Or have you stopped fighting altogether and begun functioning like roommates — feeling more alone together than apart?
Maybe you’ve been betrayed and don’t know how to trust again.

First — you are not alone. Disconnection haunts many relationships.

Second — your pain is real, and it makes sense. As humans, we are hard-wired for healthy interdependence. When connection with a beloved other is lost, your system floods you with distress signals. When our core relationships feel broken, we feel broken.

Third — things can change. The attachment-based, sex-positive, and trauma-informed therapies I practice are proven to save marriages and heal relationships.

If an important connection in your life needs repair, attachment-based, trauma-informed therapy can help.

We keep having the same fight

Different words, same wound. EFT gets underneath the cycle to what’s really happening.

Sex is a landmine

Desire differences, shame, avoidance, trauma. Sex therapy can help you rediscover sex as a delightful playground for intimate pleasure.

We can't get past the past

While it’s true you can’t change the past, relational, trauma-informed therapy can transform how old hurts live in your body now.

HOW CAN I HELP?

Where would you like to start?

Relationship & Marriage Therapy

You came together for a reason. EFT helps you break the cycles that have pulled you apart, rebuild trust, and rediscover what drew you to each other in the first place.

Sex Therapy

Whether you’re navigating desire differences, shame, discomfort, or curiosity, you can discover and express your authentic sexual self.

Trauma Therapy

The hard things you’ve been through don’t have to define your relationships. EMDR and IFS help you process the past so you can live more freely in the present.

Individual Therapy

Sometimes the most important relationship to work on is the one with yourself. Attachment-informed individual therapy helps you understand your patterns and build the life and connections you want.

Clinical Supervision

I offer supervision for licensed and pre-licensed clinicians who want to integrate attachment, trauma, and sex-positive modalities into their practice.

MEET MACDARA MACCOLL, LMFT

You can just call me Mac.

I believe that secure, loving connection — with a partner, with yourself, with your own sexuality — is something most of us can find. Not because relationships are easy, but because the right support makes it possible.

I work with couples and individuals of all orientations and relationship structures. Whatever cultural or religious values shape your life, I believe your authentic self can flourish within them. My practice is sex-positive and kink-friendly.

I’m a Certified EFT Couples Therapist, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, EMDR and IFS trained trauma therapist, and have served as an Adjunct Professor at the University of St. Joseph, where I taught master-level students in couples and family therapy and human sexuality.

MY APPROACH

Evidence-based. Warmly human.

I integrate the best of what therapy science has to offer with a reverence for the beautiful individuality of every person I work with.

EFT

Emotionally Focused Therapy is an evidence-based therapy grounded in the theory of attachment. It targets the underlying emotional patterns and attachment needs that drive conflict and disconnection.

EMDR

The gold standard in trauma therapy, EMDR leverages the brain’s natural healing to process and integrate difficult experiences.

IFS

Internal Family Systems guides clients toward Self-leadership — a compassionate, integrated relationship with every part of who they are.

Sex Therapy

The American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT) trains clinicians to treat sexuality as an opportunity for pleasure, identity, and interpersonal bonding — not a problem to fix.

Working with Mac was incredibly helpful. She taught us how to tune in, calm down, and really listen to each other with empathy. We learned so much and she helped us a lot.
