Getting to know Veronica Mckay

I have been working as a Clinical Social Worker for over 30 years. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University at Albany. Everyone has a need at some point in their life to explore and examine their life path. Perhaps you are at a crossroads or negotiating life challenges. Working with a professional can assist in managing life challenges and in developing new skills for the future.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach to therapy is client centered and holistic. Assessment begins with establishing personal goals for therapy and exploring past patterns of thinking. The therapeutic process includes assisting the individual in challenging the old patterns and developing skills to step into a new perspective on life.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Session last from 45 minutes to 60 minutes. A treatment plan is developed based on the goals identified by the client. A treatment plan can be considered a road map. Where are we going and how are we going to get there? Techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Skills will be utilized to assist in calming the central nervous system and opening the thought process to new perspectives.
