Getting to know Christel McKoy

Hi there, I'm Christel! I am passionate about assisting individuals with improving their quality of life and daily functioning during the most delicate and vulnerable times in their lives. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples by helping them to develop coping strategies, improve mental health/interpersonal skills, and techniques to decrease life stressors and mental health symptoms that negatively impact personal functioning and quality of life. My approach I consider myself to be an Integrative Psychotherapist, which means I use a variety of orientations and therapies to be able to meet the client’s individual needs. My focus I love working with individuals who are eager to improve but are looking for tools to make this goal a reality. We will explore what works best and how to maximize your strengths to help you overcome obstacles in your life. My communication style I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can be yourself. I practice active listening and will give you the opportunity to reflect on your experiences. My journey to mental healthcare Having worked in the mental health field for over 20 years and counseling for 8 years, I have worked with all types of clients. I have learned to tailor my approach to custom-fit each client. My greatest strength as a therapist is to help you get to the root of what it is that you need and help you uncover the solutions for that need. My goals for you I believe that therapy is a partnership. Together, we’ll identify and set goals that matter to you. As we work together, your goals may evolve as you gain new insights. We can adapt our plan at any time to ensure it’s always meaningful and relevant to you. I’m here to provide you with the support and tools you need to continue to move closer to where you want to be, even when things feel challenging. My first session with you In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions.
