Carly McKay

Welcome- I am so glad you're here!

To provide you with a background of how I got here, my educational background includes a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Master's degree in Social Work. Prior to providing outpatient counseling, I had the privilege of providing in-home therapy to youth ages 6+ and their families, as well as providing support to adults within an inpatient behavioral health hospital. I began providing outpatient counseling as a pre-licensed clinician in 2023 and have since received my LICSW. I am extremely passionate about supporting preteens, teens and adults ages 10+ who may be struggling in one or multiple areas of their lives. I primarily work with anxiety, depressive, trauma or stress-related and adjustment disorders.

I believe each individual client is unique and treatment modalities must vary based on each individual's needs. I offer a collaborative and warm environment while using a variety of modalities, often including aspects of CBT, EMDR and Narrative Therapy. I aim to provide strengths- based and client centered therapy. I hope to pull on natural strengths as well as build skills in areas of difficulty. In doing so, I take an empathetic and nonjudgemental approach.

I hope to provide a space that allows others to feel safe and comfortable while receiving support. During your first session with me, you could expect to answer questions regarding various aspects of your life and current circumstances in order for us to create your treatment plan and take the first step in reaching your therapeutic goals. While I do believe intake sessions are important in gathering detailed information, I also prioritize comfortability and know it takes time to build trust in the therapeutic relationship.
