My name is Norra MacReady, and I am a licensed marriage & family therapist, licensed in California and Florida (License 105049). My practice is strictly online, and I work mostly with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and issues around confidence and self-esteem. In my years of practice, I've discovered that many people find it nearly impossible to give themselves the empathy and compassion that they're able to provide to others. I try to help people discover the roots of their dysfunctional thoughts and learn to be kinder to themselves.

I am currently not taking new clients. Are you feeling emotions that are difficult to handle; issues surfacing that you're ready to take a look at? Feeling stressed, anxious or depressed?

I have worked with individuals, couples for over 22 years and am still amazed that while therapy is often not easy, it is truly worth the effort for most people. I have a calm, supportive, interactive style and welcome working with you.
