Welcome to New Day Counseling!

My name is Ross McDonough and I am a therapist in the Jacksonville area.  I became a therapist because I really like to help people.  I love what I do. 

Chances are that you have thought about counseling lots of times in your life.  Counseling is one of those things that can be easy to put off.  Whether you are in a crisis situation or you just don't feel happy anymore, therapy may be the answer for you.

My philosophy is simple.  I want to get to know you.  I want to understand your situation, your family, your thoughts, fears and feelings.  I want to do my best to understand who you are and what you are going through.  Once I understand where you are coming from, I have a better sense of what might help.  The greatest joy in my work is seeing my clients get their lives back on track.  I want to help you and your family get back on track. 

We only get one life to live.  Life is short.  Take charge.  Put the wheels of change in motion.  I can't wait to meet you and hear your story.  I look forward to seeing you make changes in your life and in your family.

Many of my clients have expressed to me that they wish they would have come to therapy at an earlier time in their life. Once engaged, they see the benefit and want to kick themselves for not coming sooner.

Are you at the end of your rope? Are you suffering in silence? Do you realize that something is wrong but you aren’t sure where to turn? Therapy is the most useful tool that I know to get your life in focus and to move it in a direction that you want for yourself.
