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.

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.
