Many times we find ourselves in emotional crisis that we can't get through alone. All people go through hard times in life. Some people get through it alone or with support from family or friends, others pretend to get through it and live with it constantly affecting their lives, and others are not able to get through it or pretend to. There is no right or wrong way to overcome hard times, trauma, anger, bereavement, grief, depression, addiction, or other obstacles in life. If you find yourself in a hard spot and in need of someone to listen and help guide you through it, with no judgement, I would like to be that person for you.

I am a Survivor of domestic violence. My name is Wanda R.W. McKinley, and I went through over 22 consecutive years of abuse. When we go through traumatic experiences in our lives, we sometimes find it hard to express our feelings and thoughts to others. Those trapped emotions eventually find their way to the surface and causes us to react in negative ways. Being a Survivor I understand the importance of being able to express yourself even if it is not verbally. I want to help individuals transition from abusive situations to being self-sufficient in society. The vision is to empower men and women so they can and will survive.

Trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I believe it is important to identify your counseling goals and issues and to tailor therapy to your needs. Then as we progress in therapy we can add new goals as they come up. I always want to be sure you are getting what you need in your therapy experience. It is very important to me that my clients feel that the therapy environment is safe and productive and that you feel that you are a part of the therapy process.

Finding answers to many of life's problems is difficult. I have found that for some, it is difficult because they are asking the wrong questions. Answering the question, "Why?" can be helpful, sometimes in figuring out how a troubling situation occurred. Why something happens, however, does not always give a clear direction towards solving a problem. "How?" something happened and "What?" can be done to promote positive change can be much more useful in resolving an otherwise troubling situation.

Glad you're here! I want to help reassure my clients that they’re not alone in whatever past they have or struggles they currently face. I'm understanding and empathetic towards the clients I work with. I'm committed to building strong positive relationships with each client so together we can work towards reaching common goals. My mission is to help everyone I encounter improve their overall mental well-being and work towards a more positive mindset. I help clients discover their self worth as they learn ways to overcome adversity and utilize healthy coping skills to function in their day to day life.

Juniper trees come in all shapes and sizes and can be found all over the world. At Juniper Crossing, what we love about this tree is all that it symbolizes - strength, healing, resilience, diversity, the need for deep roots - the things that we believe so many of us are working out in our own lives. This is why it's part of our practice name. Usually, when a person decides they’re ready for therapy, or even when a parent, family member or friend suggests it - it’s because they're at a crossing point. Some issue, event, relationship - whatever it may be, is asking for them to decide - which path will I/will we take?

If you’re reading this, I applaud your courage in reaching out for help. I know it isn’t easy to do so and I am here for you. I have a warm, empathic relational style.
