I love that Dr. McGrady is very results focused. From the outset we discussed my goals and she immediately started helping me make a plan to get where I wanted to be. Even as my goals and plans changed, she was very flexible and adaptive and remained supportive.

Dr. McGrady is wonderful. Always there with good, consistent advice. A great bubbly personality and always very engaged in our conversations during our sessions and responsive outside of our meeting times.

I'm pretty pleased with the interactions and conversations I have had so far with Dr. Kat. I feel like she listens, even though this mode of therapy can sometimes make understanding context and tone a bit difficult. She's doing a great job!

Dr. Mcgrady has been an amazing positive in my life. I was very unsure what to think about attending therapy myself, but I’m extremely thankful she was the counselor I was paired with. Very prompt to all our meetings, has instructive and helpful input, and has been very willing to adjust her schedule to help my needs. Can’t recommend enough!

I’ve only been with Dt. McGrady for a short time and feel very comfortable talking with her. She makes you feel very comfortable.
