Dr. Todd McGinnis

My communication style

My communication style is conversational, calm, and nonjudgmental. I create an environment where clients feel at ease, supported, and understood. Clients often describe working with me as grounding and collaborative, with space to explore challenges openly while feeling respected and heard.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to the field of therapy after recognizing my ability to connect with people who were struggling and help them feel understood. Early experiences working in juvenile and adult correctional settings showed me how powerful guidance, structure, and compassion can be in transforming lives.

My goals for you

I use a collaborative approach to goal setting, working closely with clients to identify what they want to change and what success looks like for them. Together, we create SMART goals—specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound—so progress feels clear and achievable. This structure helps clients stay focused.

Our first session

In our first session, clients can expect a comfortable, conversational space where we explore their concerns, history, and goals for therapy. I’ll ask guiding questions to understand what you’re struggling with and what you hope to achieve, and together we will begin creating a clear treatment plan.
