Rita McInerny Mental Health Counselor - Limited Permit

Rita McInerny, Mental Health Counselor - Limited Permit, 22347 is practicing under the supervision of Cynthia Johnson Watson (Maryland, LCSW, 22347) at Life Revisions Counseling LLC.

Please, note: A clinician listed as being “clinically supervised” is completing clinical hours toward their licensure. They have one or more fully licensed clinical supervisors that often have special training to become supervisors. They consult with their supervisor(s) on all of their cases, which means that, when working with them, you are getting the time and expertise of multiple therapists in your treatment.

I am a clinical intern at Life Revisions Counseling as well as a masters student at Northwestern University. I specialize in Child and Adolescent studies in Northwestern's mental health counseling program, and am looking to work with younger clients, particularly those who are struggling with family dynamics, trauma, feelings of stress, anxiety, or depression, and other behavioral concerns. I use a person-centered approach in each session, meaning that I work to provide an accepting, nonjudgmental space where I listen actively and value each client unconditionally for who they are. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy approaches into my sessions. I hope to assist you in goal setting, self-acceptance, processing the past and being mindful in the present moment in order to cultivate a life that aligns with your values and allows you to flourish.
