Sarah McKay
I have helped people overcome difficulties related to stress and anxiety, trauma, depression, and sleep difficulties. I have experience working with individuals with Bipolar Disorder and other severe mental illnesses that impact their lives significantly. I also complete various psychological assessments for ADHD, learning disability, and cognitive functioning evaluations, risk assessments, forensic evaluations, and psychodiagnostic evaluations.
I also am available for clinical supervision for psychology practicum students, interns, and residents/postdocs. If seeking supervision, consultation is free to assess for goodness of fit and supervision needs.
I tend to take a trauma-focused approach, which means that I take into account any trauma or traumatic experiences an individual has had in their life, and use that to inform my understanding of their currently difficulties. I embrace a partnership-style approach to working with clients, and we plan out specific goals that work and make sense for them.
