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.

In my work, I prefer to focus on what is happening right now to help you keep what is working and change what isn't... There are times we must remove some roots to help us move forward and we can do that in a safe environment. Working with a counselor who respects your values and life experience provides the potential for creating an atmosphere for growth further propelling the process of change.

It becomes concerning when pleasing others neglects your happiness and most importantly your mental wellbeing. If you can identify, you may be feeling like you’re unworthy, you can’t say no, you have a fear of abandonment, you’re made to feel guilty for choosing yourself, or maybe you feel like pleasing others is the only control you have. I invite you to take this journey with me in making the relationships you have with others benefit you just as much as it benefits them.

Most people that enter therapy are stuck...whether it's in relationship conflicts, depressive cycles or life ruts. What helps to get 'unstuck' is a different view and new interactions. I believe all people and situations can change if you want them too. I work well with motivated and dedicated people and help you to find new solutions to your daily problems and conflicts. I am a very interactive, directive, and coaching based therapist who believes that without the skills necessary, the problems interactions will remain the same.

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 know it can be difficult to find someone you really feel safe with, who you can trust, who won't judge you. I'd be honored to be that person.
