Professional statement

Rachel McKay, LMFT is a humanistic and existentially oriented therapist with a deep interest in relationships and general health. She is unique in her ability to connect and works with individuals, couples, and families of all ages and backgrounds. Her clients are often people who find themselves in a place where they have achieved many of their goals but internally there are questions related to their sense of self, purpose, and general fulfillment.

Attentive to the process and oriented in the present, Rachel helps clients identify the narrative that shapes their life and what patterns and habits may be inhibiting the next chapter. Utilizing strengths, building self-awareness, healing from past wounds, and accepting what is beyond control often surface in the work that she does with her clients. Rachel provides high-quality professional care without sacrificing elements of a human relationship.

Rachel's training is primarily rooted in systems work; evaluating family, societal, religious, work, community, and cultural systems, and the role that a person has in each. Early in her career, she worked in community mental health and higher education.

Outside of time with her clients, Rachel enjoys adventuring in nature, laughing and sharing a meal with family and friends, and watching a good movie.
