About Rachael McKinnon

I am a licensed Master Social Worker with over 9 years of experience working as a psychotherapist, working in the field of Social Work for the past 15 years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, mood disorders, personality disorders, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, grief/loss, effects of past trauma, disturbances with all areas of wellness, lack in motivation, stress management, anger management, OCD and ADHD. My counseling style is warm, nonjudgmental, motivational, and interactive. I believe in professional behavior of respect, sensitivity, compassion, empathy, and confidentiality and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, dialectical-behavioral, trauma based - IFS, solution focused. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support you. Evidence based therapy approaches are proven to not only reduce and manage these difficult areas of concern but also work to empower individuals with insight, coping skills, problem solving skills, self control, and self advocacy to carry you on in your journey of life. I will dialog with you and together we will develop a treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I look forward to working with you!
