Katherine McVay LPC

You can expect to work in a safe space to explore your own challenges and work with me to provide out of the box solutions and coping skills. You can also expect to be listened to, and respected as you are the expert of your own life, I am here only to guide you through your processing. I also like to empower clients to sort through their ideas, beliefs, and challenges in an encouraging environment. You can expect to leave with an individualized goal plan, that I work with you to detail. Expect to also find compassion and acceptance every step of the way of your own counseling journey.

I primarily utilized Relational Cultural Theory or RCT in working with and conceptualizing client's needs. I find that showing up to a session in your most authentic self is only the first half of counseling, the other half is learning to trust yourself. You can expect me to employ a variety of techniques that follow loosely on Dialect Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Reality Choice theory. I like to employ several methods of 'homework' and providing time in sessions to exploring processing activities.
