Interview with Seattle Neufeld Community
Meet Dr. Deborah MacNamara.
Counsellor, Scientist, Storyteller.
Teacher. Guide. Change maker.
Something special happens in the space when developmental science meets the practical, everyday life...
Dynamics shift within families and communities; relationships transform between children and parents; children and teens grow up to realize their full human potential and parents reach their full human potential as caretakers.
Dr. Deborah MacNamara operates from that space.

As a trusted and experienced clinical counsellor for over 25 years in mental health and educational settings as well as private practice, Dr. MacNamara serves as a leading international expert who provides counselling and educational services to support parents, professionals, and educators. She is also a professional speaker who has presented to the United Nations and The Dalai Lama Center for Peace and Education.
She specializes in the relational-developmental approach of Dr. Gordon Neufeld, empowering parents to become the expert on their child or children with everyday questions and practical strategies.

Today, she serves on Faculty at the Neufeld Institute.
