I’m Shirria McCullough, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I had my first child at 17, and as a teenage mother it was the support, understanding, and empathy of my mother and grandmother that got me to where I am today. As an adult, I recognize how crucial support, understanding, and empathy can be towards others. Understanding, empathy, and support are the characteristics I stand on and the foundations of my practice with others. I am committed to helping young adults to adults overcome mental health challenges that limit your quality of life. I believe in taking a collaborative approach while helping clients overcome challenges, reach goals, and enhance life! I am passionate about creating a therapeutic alliance that builds trust, empowers you to overcome challenges, develop new perspectives and skills, to enhance your life to become the life of your dreams.
