Rachael Mckinnon

I am so happy you are here and encourage you to take this opportunity to make a lasting difference in your life. My availability is flexible, my scheduled hours are posted well in advance through Headway.co site. I'm available for evening and weekend sessions by request.

I am a licensed Master's Social Worker with over 13 years of experience working as a psychotherapist, working in the field of Social Work for the past 19 years. I have worked with clients on a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, mood disorders, personality disorders, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, grief/loss, effects of past trauma, disturbances with all areas of wellness, lack in motivation, stress management, anger management, OCD and ADHD.

My counseling style is warm, nonjudgmental, motivational, and interactive. I believe in professional behavior of respect, sensitivity, compassion, empathy, and confidentiality and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, dialectical-behavioral, trauma based - IFS, solution focused.

I hold a stable, creative, working environment focused on empowering you through support to gain insight, coping skills, problem solving skills, self control, and self advocacy to carry on in your journey of life. During our first meeting, I will complete an evaluation form to gather some history, more specifics on presenting problems, develop plans for treatment, and set goals for therapy that will meet your unique, specific needs.
