Dana McCray

Hello! I have 3 little children and enjoy spending time outside and being active. I specialize in maternal mental health. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space to work but also challenge as appropriate to aid in growth. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients identify the thoughts and behaviors that fuel stress and exhaustion, while teaching practical strategies to regain confidence and rest. I also incorporate Somatic Experiencing to provide healing through the body in physical movement.

If you choose to work with me, you would receive counseling through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which enables you to create goals for yourself towards healthier thought processes, behaviors, and relationships. I provide a safe space to process through difficult thoughts and emotions and work with you to problem solve and create tangible changes.

I often assign homework that is completely optional to help you get the most out of our time together. I've found that practicing skills outside of session aids in empowering the client and furthering progress. Some sessions may feel relieving and hopeful while others may bring about heavy emotions due to the challenges of life and learning to cope with these difficulties. However, my goal is that you will always feel like you are pressing ahead to a healthier version of yourself.
