Getting to know Colette McCreary

Hi there, I'm Colette! My name is Colette McCreary. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Pasadena, California, with a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pacific Oaks College. I offer telehealth services and specialize in anxiety as well as life transitions, helping both adults and adolescents navigate unexpected and expected changes throughout life. I am also well-versed in grief and loss, personality disorders, and issues related to self-worth, including care, identity, and esteem. Depending on the client and their symptoms, I use various therapeutic orientations such as Person-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My approach Each individual needs a personalized approach to their concerns. I initially lean toward person-centered work, providing a nonjudgmental environment for self-exploration. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help change unhelpful thinking patterns and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to assist with regulating intense emotions. My focus I typically work one-on-one with individuals struggling with anxiety and the intrusive inner conversations that can be debilitating. The focus is on redirecting thoughts and regulating the intense emotions causing distress. I also specialize in working with older adolescents, as the transition into adulthood can be challenging for both the individual and their family. I offer intermittent sessions with parents, sharing developmentally appropriate skills and strategies to support their child during this transitional period. My communication style I work gently and respectfully with clients to engage in a collaborative and creative process. The client brings their concerns and self-knowledge, and I bring my clinical skills, education, and personal life experience into therapy.
