My Approach to Helping
Everything you’ve overcome to get to this moment has prepared you for the journey ahead. This path leads to who you were always meant to be. When you’re fully present with your feelings, you reconnect to your authentic self and open the door for true joy in your life.
We're here to provide a safe and supportive space for you to express yourself openly and honestly, where you can learn to love yourself unconditionally, cultivate self-compassion, and find peace. Our strength-based work together will show you how.
Whether you're here seeking help as you navigate an overwhelming time, or you’re simply looking for a space to explore and grow, you're in the right place. Moments like these are like a fork in the road. We can choose to do what we’ve always done or try something new. One thing is for sure, nothing changes if nothing changes. Our lives are shaped by how we make use of our greatest moments of adversity.
As creative clinicians, we blend proven techniques with lived experience to create a customized and effective approach to meet the unique needs and preferences of our clients.
We encourage and support your freedom to move and connect with nature during your session, promoting mindfulness while supporting the transformational growth you deserve.
Some of the most rewarding feedback we've received from clients is that our sessions have redefined their expectations of therapy. You’ll become an active driver in your own recovery and personal growth.
The journey at MCT begins by acknowledging the genuine mental health challenges you may be facing—without relying on a diagnosis to define your whole identity.
Next, we help you recognize how your struggles may arise from past experiences, rather than any inherent flaws within you. This perspective shift opens the door to self-compassion and pride, empowering you to view your challenges through a lens of resilience and growth.
Building upon this, we guide you toward a strength-based mindset. Encouraging acceptance of all emotions, particularly those that feel uncomfortable or negative.
There are no 'bad' feelings. Every emotion serves a purpose, aiming to protect or inform us in some way.
By reframing so-called negative emotions as allies rather than enemies, you can learn to welcome them with curiosity rather than resistance.
This process fosters a stronger connection to oneself, making it possible to find joy even in difficult moments. Through these steps, you'll not only confront challenges but also rediscover your strength and capacity for happiness.
During your work with us, you'll learn that the journey is less about changing yourself and more about letting go of what isn’t true to who you are, unlearning how you've been conditioned to see yourself, and recognizing that you’ve been good enough all along.
At McDavid Creative Therapy, we welcome and affirm the unique stories and identities of every individual, allowing for a rich and transformative therapeutic journey. We value inclusion and celebrate diversity in all its beautiful forms.
Our work together moves beyond alleviating painful symptoms to cultivate a profound sense of peace, self-acceptance, emotional resilience, and self-love.
Let’s embark on this journey together.
