In Person Therapists in Ellis County, TX
My desire to positively impact the lives of others is the reason I became a counselor. I am passionate about helping individuals overcome the mental and emotional obstacles that are preventing them from living their best life. I believe that is best done by partnering with the client to design a specialized treatment plan to bring about the necessary changes and growth to achieve the client's goals. I also believe in providing an empathetic and encouraging environment to facilitate such changes and growth. I work with teenagers and adults in the areas of depression, stress, anxiety, self-harm, and self-esteem, to name a few areas.

I believe that people struggle with coping with changes in their lives whether it is a change inflicted by grief, divorce, life transitions or a new job or relationship. These changes can make people question their reality and who they are in life affecting those around them. I help give individuals, families or couples developer tools to empower themselves to overcome those changes and develop better connections with others.

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.

I am dedicated to helping teens, adolescents, and adults find hope and insight, to develop the confidence to form a more resilient mindset. Life can present issues that may feel impossible to overcome. People do the best they can to manage these problems but negative thoughts, and anxious or depressed feelings, can lead to using unhealthy ways to avoid these feelings. These emotions let us know that we need to do something else, whether it includes learning healthy coping skills, talking things out, or healing from trauma. I work closely with clients to help them regain clarity and control of their lives.

I fight for my clients and gently challenge them to not give up but instead learn better coping mechanisms so they can get through the difficult times in their lives. This is how I invest in them. I will, however, move at your pace, and if you simply need a space to digest things, we may do so together while you discover more constructive methods to deal with trying circumstances.
