These years have also allowed me to gain years of knowledge, skill, empathy, compassion for parents, families, and the children.
It is my prayer that God will use each counseling opportunity to allow me to help a person see the strengths within themselves and to take one step at a time in overcoming the struggles of life. Struggles and setbacks in life can hit anyone at any time; none of us are immune. I also believe God created each of us to walk with joy in life, however, I believe he knows we need His helpers here on earth in staying on that joyful walk.

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.

Some clients concerns revolve around developmental issues, life transactions, adjustment, and relational conflict that can be handled with therapy to learn strategies and skills.

No matter who we are, our relationships influence and mold our experience of life. We all have a desire to create and maintain deep connections to our families, spouse, children, and friends that help sustain us during our challenges and storms and lift us higher during the joys and peaks. For most of us, though, that process is difficult and not without pitfalls. As a marriage and family therapist, I keep in mind the importance of relationships and how they affect and shape all of us. This knowledge allows me to walk alongside and guide my clients in their journeys towards wholeness of self and wholeness of their relationships.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults.
None of us should have to face life’s journey alone. As we grow and enter new stages of life, things that worked for us in the past may no longer serve us well. Sometimes the challenges of life call for new responses. Counseling can be an opportunity to explore the rules, boundaries, and expectations that we have acquired over time and consider new possibilities.

I have also worked with children, adolescents, and adults with a wide-range of diagnoses.
Life has its ups and downs and sometimes talking with someone else can provide a new outlook and comfort. I believe that through the therapeutic relationship individuals can receive the support they need to help them through the up and down moments of life. I focus on what each individual client needs and desires to change in the therapeutic setting. I work from a primarily Cognitive-Behavioral perspective, focusing on the link between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as it pertains to current symptoms and behavioral presentation. Therapy is a personal and individual journey, but I believe the journey does not have to occur alone.
