About me

Gary A. McRae, LCSW as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I bring 8 years of experience in working as a therapist with a variety of clients including adolescents, young adults, couples, middle aged adults and seniors. I bring a client-centered, evidence-based approach that is enhanced by up-to-date trainings to empower clients to better mental health. My social work career also includes 12 years working in a Residential Treatment Center for children where I had varying roles and experiences including as a Youth Care Worker, Family Service Coordinator, and Director of a Foster Care Program and of course providing therapy services for residents and also community-based clients. My years of working in the social field, along with my extensive life experience has prepared me to come along side of clients who might be going through some of the obstacles and challenges that life can bring that often result in issues from anxiety, depression, and trauma, relationship issues and identity exploration. My passion is to empower people to live their best lives.
