Ky-Yonni McCleary
Grand rising!
My name is Ky-Yonni McCleary and I've been practicing outpatient and in-home therapy since 2014. I obtained my B.S. Degree in Psychology in 2013 at Delaware State University and my M.Ed of Mental Health Counseling in 2018 at Springfield College in Massachusetts. My areas of expertise include but are not limited to a variety of diagnosis competency (CBT, EFT, Marital and Family therapy, Anxiety, Certification in DBT), and applying holistic approaches to the betterment of my clients. I focus on the need of the client at the present moment and how to use their tools they already possess. The main objective for you and I is to apply the tools independently once you transition out of services. Sometimes we just need that person that reminds us of our strengths, true compassion, and skills we can use to help ourselves. Congratulations on taking that first step & looking forward to working with you!
