My name is Marcus McCray, I served in the U.S, military for 20 years. I have provided group and trauma counseling for the last two years in the local area. My counseling style centers around motivational interviewing (MI) and finding ways to use an individuals natural abilities to fine solutions/improvements in our every day lives.
I am a licensed psychologist with over fifteen years of experience providing therapy in both Spanish and English. I earned my master’s degree in counseling psychology from Indiana University and my doctorate in counseling psychology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My doctoral program emphasized multicultural competence and using research to inform practice. Therefore, I use an evidence-based, cultural and trauma-informed approach in therapy. I have worked with Veterans, women and men diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, women diagnosed with breast cancer, and individuals experiencing substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. I am licensed in the states of Texas and Iowa.
Are you struggling with chronic relapse, binges, sex/love/porn addiction, excess substance use, dissociative disorder, or attachment issues? Do you want to decrease your urge to vape, smoke marijuana/nicotine, or drink? Have you experienced social phobia, self-phobia, one or more addictions, sexual abuse, or trauma? Are you suffering from grief and loss or complex PTSD?
What truly sets me apart is my calm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental approach. I believe in meeting every individual exactly where they are, creating a safe and affirming space for open, honest communication. Together, we’ll build a collaborative relationship where goals, preferences, and values guide every step of your care. I am committed to providing stigma-free care; including those navigating challenges related to neurodivergence, substance use, trauma, identity or difficult past experiences. Everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and respected without fear of shame or judgment.
My focus has been on helping people cope with trauma, physical, sexual or emotional. I graduated from Texas Tech in 2015 with my master's in Community Mental Health Counseling.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Tyler, TX
Searching for therapists in Tyler starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist may fit your needs. People often look for therapy in Tyler, TX for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties that match your goals. You may also want to review approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, trauma-informed care, couples therapy, or faith-informed counseling when those preferences matter to you.
In a smaller city like Tyler, the number of local in-person appointments may vary by schedule, specialty, and location. Virtual therapy can expand your options across Texas while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in the state. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you understand communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect before you book.
Therapy in Tyler can be a significant expense without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see an estimated cost before booking. You can compare therapists in Tyler, review profiles, choose in-person or virtual care, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
