About me

My name is Colleen McKay, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I have been working in the field since 2011. I have primarily worked with children and families (parents) through providing both behavioral training, individual and family therapy, as well as the foster care system. I enjoy working with women, parents, and individuals experiencing anxiety, depression and difficulty through various life transitions. I believe myself to be an active listener who offers empathy and non-judgmental support to all my clients. I believe that life has many challenges and we deserve to have support and guidance as we try to do our best to navigate.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we will get to know each other by creating a space in which you feel comfortable to show up as your true self. Together, we will begin to discuss some areas that are causing you pain, and make a plan on how we will work together moving forward.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strengths as a clinician would be my ability to create a space in which others feel safe, heard and validated. I believe the success of your treatment relies heavily on the strength of our relationship.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I thoroughly enjoy working with clients who are open to the process of therapy and looking to make changes in how they feel. I normally work with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, parenting concerns or are struggling in their romantic relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Through the CBT approach, we will examine how your thought patterns affect your behaviors that have been preventing your personal growth.

There aren't enough words to say how amazing Colleen is. By far the best provider I have ever worked with. She is such a calming and authentic presence. Colleen makes it easy to open up, she is understanding and offers great feedback during and after the session. Even better, we laugh together often and I look forward to each of our sessions. Can't thank her enough for all of her support.
