I am seasoned psychologist, therapist, and coach, holding a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology, and bringing a wealth of expertise to my practice. With a background in mental health I have adeptly navigated the complexities of child adolescent development to work with elderly populations. My extensive experience includes conducting crisis assessments in hospital settings, to psychological evaluations and ensuring thorough understanding and personalized care for my clients. Beyond conventional approaches, I embody a holistic perspective on mental and emotional health & wellness.

Integrating evidence-based therapeutic techniques with holistic practices, I fosters healing and growth on multiple levels. I do not consider myself merely a clinician; I'm a compassionate advocate for empowerment. I believe in guiding individuals towards self-discovery and resilience, empowering them to navigate life's challenges with confidence and clarity. Through collaborative therapy, I work to cultivate a supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to enact positive change in their lives. In my practice, therapy transcends the traditional boundaries of diagnosis and treatment. It becomes a transformative journey towards self-actualization and fulfillment. With my blend of clinical expertise, holistic approach, and commitment to empowerment, I stand as a beacon of hope and support for those seeking holistic wellness and personal growth.

In essence, my professional strengths as a therapist lie in my ability to motivate, encourage growth, promote honesty, be relatable and facilitate goal setting.

I welcome clients who are deeply committed to their personal growth and development journey.

Clients who seek my guidance are individuals ready to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery, resilience, and empowerment. These ideal clients possess a willingness to engage in the therapeutic process with sincerity and dedication. They understand that personal growth requires introspection, effort, and sometimes discomfort, but they are undeterred by these challenges. Instead, they view them as opportunities for growth and learning.
Dr. McCullough's experience of using solution-focused therapy involves actively engaging the client in a collaborative process of goal-setting, identifying strengths and resources, amplifying successes, and taking concrete steps toward positive change. Through this approach, clients often experience a sense of empowerment and agency as they discover their own capacity to overcome challenges and achieve their goals.
The Supportive counseling treatment approach provides clients with a compassionate and validating therapeutic experience, focusing on building resilience, coping skills, and emotional well-being.
