Iyana McCain
My name is Iyana McCain. I have been a licensed therapist for the past 7 years. Has anyone checked in with you lately? I want to offer support to my clients. I work towards solutions. I am an advocate. I help clients navigate life stressors with parenting, family, careers, relationships, and self-esteem. I support clients dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma. Therapy is a big step to take. It's okay to feel overwhelmed in life with multiple responsibilities as a student, parent, friend, or significant other. Opening up about your fears, worries, and struggles in life can leave you feeling vulnerable. I want you to feel seen and heard without fear of judgement. I advocate for my clients. I aim to become one of your biggest supporters. I believe in education on tools that you can use to lead a tolerable day to day life.
As a therapist, I want to advocate for you and encourage motivation to succeed in spite of obstacles.
First session
During our initial session, I want to get to know you and gather an understanding of the concerns that led to therapy. As a team, we will develop steps to work towards your goals, whether short-term or long-term. I want you to leave the session feeling seen, heard, and motivated for growth.
Strengths
I work best with clients that are willing to hold themselves accountable and do the necessary work for a positive change. It's not easy feeling depressed, lonely, and isolated while still having to parent, go to school, and maintain the house. Where is the support? Who is checking in with you and making sure you are okay? Do you feel appreciated or always taken for granted?
Ideal clients
I am looking to serve clients who are navigating daily stresses of parenting, relationships, school, depression, anxiety, managing self-care, balancing responsibilities, or just needing a listening ear. Again, we work together as a team to accomplish goals. I can’t do the work for you, but I can provide you the tools needed and guide you to an outcome that you are satisfied with.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
We have negative and positive thoughts daily that often times are automatic. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact with one another.
Psychoeducation
Education on diagnoses helps clients gain a better understanding on how to manage conditions.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I focus on helping the client move from "What’s wrong?” toward “What would I like to be different, and how can I get there?” Remember that you already possess resources, strengths, relationships, and previous experiences of coping that can be used to create change. I aim to guide and help bring out those tools have been forgotten.
