Karin Donnelly-Smith, QMHP
School Based Therapist
Karin was born and raised on the Oregon coast. Karin says, “Over time I realized it is my best place on earth, I love the climate, geography and people.” Karin enjoys hiking, biking, swimming and fishing in her spare time with her family. Over her career, Karin has always worked in service to people. Most recently she worked many years in the counseling office at Reedsport High School. While there she completed a Master’s degree in Psychology online from Ashford University. Karin left the school setting when COVID swept through, but in her time away realized how much she missed the kids and team work. It really does take a village to raise a child and supporting families and children specifically is Karin’s passion. Karin serves as a school based therapist at Waterfall’s North Bay Clinic.
