About

Hello and welcome to Find A Therapist! It will be my honor and privilege to work with you. Your journey is unique and very important to me so let’s work together to begin a new journey. Your willingness to do the work is key to your growth. I will be a strong advocate for your growth, and I will be committed to you.

My name is Cay McLane and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor (LADAC). I have a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Family Studies and Master of Arts Degree (M.A.) in Counseling. I am currently working on a degree in Nutrition to connect nutrition with mental health wellness. I have almost 10 years of experience in training and working with clients with depression, anger, life changes, anxiety, unhealthy relationships, crisis, interpersonal skills, communication issues, loneliness, childhood issues, grief, alcohol/drug addictions, parenting concerns, and domestic violence. The treatments I work with is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused, Motivational Interviewing and Positive Psychology.

It is important to be able to connect with your counselor, this is key to building rapport and key in my practice. Rapport is one of the gateways to building a safe and supportive environment. I am a non-judgmental counselor, which will allow you some space to build trust with me. I will start where you are at and we will work together to address your concerns. I will always try to put myself in your shoes to imagine what you are experiencing. I do not give advice. I help you make changes to negative thought patterns and other harmful behaviors that might be contributing to your issues. I will give you different perspectives so you can make choices for your next steps. I will focus on encouraging and nurturing your development. I listen and hear the spoken and unspoken language. I have witnessed people make amazing changes, which inspires me to do this work. Your feedback is important to my growth as a counselor so I can incorporate what does or does not work, my clients are my greatest teachers.

I believe suffering or pain is where we will grow the most and how we respond to it will teach us many lessons. If we overlook suffering or pain, then growth is at a standstill. It is my belief that my clients can grow and work from their own strengths. I will be there to support and guide you. I will customize our dialogue and treatment to meet your specific needs and unique situation. I am flexible with my schedule to meet your needs. You are important and you matter, so when you are ready let’s begin our work together .
