Great to meet you!

Welcome! I’m Tamu McKinney, a licensed Clinical Social Worker, with over 20 years of experience in helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. My approach to therapy is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution focused therapy, person-centered therapy, and I believe in tailoring each session to the unique needs and goals of my clients.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My therapeutic style is empathetic and collaborative. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly. Together, we’ll work on developing coping strategies, setting meaningful goals, and making positive changes in your life. I’m committed to supporting you in building resilience and finding your own path to wellness.
