Ali McGary

Asking for help is the first and arguably most important steps in seeking mental health care. I am so glad that you are here! I follow a client centered approach which means that you are the expert of your own experiences. I am here to provide empathetic understanding, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. I love working with kids, teens, and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, self-image, and life transitions. I also have experience in specific areas such as eating disorders, trauma, sexuality, and religious deconstruction. I would be honored to work along side you on your unique mental health experiences.
