Tom Mccready, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi, I'm Tom. I help clients navigate life transitions, relationships, and emotional challenges with a practical, down-to-earth approach. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about your next steps, I provide a supportive space where you can gain insight, develop new perspectives, and create meaningful change. Therapy with me isn’t about passive listening or generic advice—I believe in real conversations that help you understand patterns, challenge unhelpful thinking, and build practical strategies that work for your life. Many of my clients are navigating major life changes, relationship struggles, or stress that feels difficult to manage alone. My approach is collaborative and straightforward, offering guidance that’s both insightful and actionable. I focus on helping you uncover the root of your challenges while equipping you with the tools to make meaningful progress. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) to support growth and change. My goal is to make therapy accessible and useful—whether you're new to it or have tried before but didn’t quite connect with the process. If you're ready to take the next step, I'm here to help.

In-network insurances

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.
