Are you struggling to make sense of your current life? Do you want to improve your life but you don't know where to begin? Many people from all walks of life struggle with feelings of hopelessness, fear, and uncertainty. My name is Marcus McCray, I am a retired military veteran with two years of trauma informed and group therapy in the local community. My approach focusses on the natural talents and abilities that all of us have. I believe people often fall victim to negative thoughts and beliefs about themselves. Through therapy we will learn how to undo those negative thought patterns.
My strength is the ability to form connections with my clients and helping them to believe in themselves. I focus on the whole person concept by prioritizing mental, emotional, and spiritual health. If you choose to work with me, I believe that we can create a treatment plan that can help you deal with daily life struggles.
My time in the military has taught me discipline, integrity, and a desire for a bette life. I have helped young professionals, retirees, and adolescents/teens understand and process their emotions. Many of my previous client report feeling more confident in their choices and decision making when they complete counseling
