Elizabeth McKay

My communication style

I value a genuine, honest, and nonjudgmental view in order to get to know you and what your goals are for therapy. My goal is to establish an environment in which you are comfortable. I want my clients to improve quickly so symptoms are not getting in the way of functioning.

My journey to mental healthcare

I worked in the mental health field in various roles such as case manager, crisis response worker, and hospital social worker before becoming a therapist. Once I began doing therapy, I realized I needed to be trained in a modality that works for trauma. Now I use ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) to help people reduce intense symptoms quickly.

My goals for you

The first session is an assessment in which I help you define your goals and how to reach them. We work together from there to evaluate your symptoms and whether you are improving. As you gain new insights, we continue to adapt your goals as needed.

Our first session

The first session will be an assessment, in which I learn about you and your background, as well as why you came to therapy. A good foundation is important to establish a plan for treatment and to make sure I am a good fit for you. We establish goals and a path towards healing. I am solution-focused, and I want you to feel better fast.
