Are you not feeling like your "best self"-- in relationships, at work, as a parent? Are you feeling stuck, but knowing you want something to be different? I offer support, expertise, and hope to figure out what you need, what you want, and how to start moving in a new direction. I work with individual adults and couples to manage depression and anxiety, self-esteem and personal growth, coping and stress management, adjustment to life events, and relational issues. Significant change is created through intentional efforts on a daily basis--let's start one step at a time.
My approach is one that is respectful, compassionate, and collaborative, and balanced with an active role in providing support, practical feedback, and using evidence-based interventions. My M.S. and Ph.D in Marriage and Family therapy, combined with my publications, presentations, and research, have given me significant training and clinical experience.
Real change is possible. Healthy, loving relationships are possible. A more confident, skilled, resilient you is possible. I'm here to help you figure out what you need, what you want, and how to start moving in a new direction of living and loving. I invite you to email me and start the process. I would be honored to be part of your therapeutic journey.

As an experienced therapist myself, I am ALWAYS looking for referrals. When I refer someone to Dr. McVicker, I am more than confident that she/he/they are in good hands. But more than that, and the greatest honor that I can bestow upon another therapist......
