Phylea Daniels-McCoy

Welcome! I commend you on taking this big step to start working on your healing journey. I am a licensed clinical therapist with a Master’s degree in Social Work and over seven years of experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and with a variety of life experiences and challenges. My professional experience has allowed me to support clients as they navigate emotional, behavioral, relational, and life transitions.

I enjoy utilizing evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I uses CBT to help clients identify and challenge negative or unhelpful thought patterns while developing healthier ways of thinking and responding. Through Motivational Interviewing, I empower clients to identify their strengths, explore their own reasons for change, and take meaningful steps toward their personal goals.

My approach is collaborative, supportive, and client-centered, with an emphasis on creating a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout their therapeutic journey.

During your first therapy session, I will focus on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. I will gather information about your personal and social history, current concerns, significant life experiences, and present stressors. We will also discuss your mental health and treatment history, current strengths and supports, and the goals you would like to work toward in therapy.

This first session is also an opportunity to begin building a trusting therapeutic relationship and create a safe, supportive space where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences. Together, we will begin identifying areas of focus for treatment to develop a plan.
