Giana McKay

My communication style

My communication style is warm, collaborative, and supportive. I strive to create a space where clients feel heard, respected, and comfortable being honest. I balance compassion with gentle accountability, helping clients explore difficult emotions while also identifying practical steps toward change.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into this work was shaped by both professional experience & personal growth. Working in crisis services deepened my understanding of how overwhelming life can feel during difficult seasons. Alongside my own experiences navigating transitions, it strengthened my commitment to helping others find clarity, stability, and a sense of control.

My goals for you

I help clients identify what feels most important to them, break larger goals into manageable steps, and build practical coping skills they can use outside of session. Together, we explore patterns, strengthen self-awareness, and track progress in a way that feels realistic, supportive, and personalized.

Our first session

Our first session is a space to slow down and focus on you—what’s been weighing on you, what brought you to therapy, and what you’re hoping will feel different. We’ll begin to explore your experiences, identify patterns, and clarify your goals. My intention is for you to leave feeling understood, supported, and more at ease about the process.
