Getting to know Lawanda Mcgee
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's in Social Work from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. My practice focuses on a plethora of life challenges such as anxiety, depression, transitions, and grieving. I have a diverse background that includes working in public health, residential treatment centers, health care settings, community-based centers, crisis agencies, and therapeutic settings. I strongly believe therapy is an important asset in life where one is able to talk about life challenges and work on solutions that allow individuals to be the best version of themselves. My goal is to create a natural experience by nurturing a safe and welcoming environment, establishing trusting relationships, and promoting a non-judgment zone where one can express themselves freely, overcome their challenges, and find balance in their lives. I believe in the philosophy ?give yourself space to evolve? (Krista Aoki). I strive to provide others the space to grow, learn, and evolve. Why me? I am a candid therapist who doesn't just tell you what you want to hear but helps you help yourself. I am dedicated to helping and walking alongside you to overcome life challenges. I put an emphasis on understanding your world because this is important to advance and strive toward transformation.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
