Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs last? Maybe you are just not feeling like yourself. Perhaps you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how you are supposed to manage all the things on your plate. Pushing away your own needs and living in survival mode can lead to long term issues for your mind and body. I believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life.
At McKinney Psychology we offer a custom approach for each of our clients. We start with understanding where you are now and the challenges you are facing. We help you put a plan in place to help you move forward, and we celebrate your success along the way. We offer an inclusive, safe space with in person or virtual appointments to suit your schedule.
Helping people live a better life is our main goal. It might mean learning to set boundaries, working through a loss, traumatic incident or life transition. Or helping you change a pattern of behavior that is keeping you stuck. Contact us today for a free consultation and we’ll help you get started on this new path.

I work with clients in rural areas that are impacted by anxiety, depression, trauma and generally feel overwhelmed. We use approaches that encourage you to reflect on the way you think, feel and behave. We also look at the patterns in your way of interacting in relationships, communicating and engaging in conflict resolution. As a Metis psychologist, I also appreciate Indigenous Clients.
