ABOUT

I believe there’s a way to care for others while caring for yourself and experiencing your own happiness. In my coaching practice, I start with learning what is going on for you currently, what is working for you and what is not. We will work together to create a life that is more manageable. I offer a safe, judgement-free space for you to be yourself, and feel what it’s like to be heard, and this will help you move forward with ease and support.

My name is Ronda McLean and coaching family caregivers is my passion. As a former hospice social worker and private practice therapist, I have been working with caregivers and people with chronic or terminal illness since 2008. I guide you to feel your feelings, reflect on your truths, control what you can, and find new support. This will create more resilience, empowerment, clarity, and peace of mind within you, so that you have a higher quality of life, don’t burn out; all without needing years of therapy. Your needs matter and you are not alone. 

Check out my Instagram page @AYear2Love or email me at AYearToLove@gmail.com to schedule a discovery call, book a session, or sign up for the 12 week “Resilience Rising” caregiver program. 

Even in the darkest times and in complicated or difficult situations, there is often hope to be found. And when there is no hope, there is awareness and even radical acceptance to be discovered. Living and loving more fully is possible. 💜

I can provide the help you need on your caregiving journey. Sign up for the free newsletter or reach out to work with me.

    —G. G.

  • "I began seeing Ronda to help heal past trauma that was affecting my daily life. Through that journey she has also helped me process devastating, life-changing health events, personal and family crises, and regression to past behaviors when I thought nothing would work. I feel heard, always, and when I need to hear hard truths, she gives them to me, in the most effective way. I never feel like “just a patient”. Ronda championed me through my pain and has now become someone I want to share my victories with. I have been in and out of therapy for 40 years, and Ronda stands out as one of the most kind, empathetic, and wise coaches I have worked with. I have made profound changes in my mind and life, and I am grateful to have her on my team."
