Hello and welcome!
My name is Nakeisha McGee, and I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I’ve worked in the field of mental health and substance use since 2005 and have provided digital therapy since 2018.
Over the years, I’ve supported individuals, couples, children, and teens as they’ve navigated trauma, addiction, and major life transitions — in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I’ve also directed school- and community-based programs, so I understand how healing connects to every part of life: relationships, work, and self-worth.
My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. I combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, and Rational Emotive Therapy, tailoring each session to meet you exactly where you are. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a partnership — where we explore your story together, from your point of view, and find solutions that truly fit you.
I’m especially passionate about helping people rebuild connection, deepen emotional intimacy, and learn how to communicate in healthier, more fulfilling ways.
I’ve returned to direct care with a fresh perspective and a deeper dedication to helping clients create meaningful change.
💬 Let’s begin your next level of greatness.

Nakeisha has given me the most valuable gift I’ve ever gotten - permission to be me, and the strength & empowerment to figure out what I want “me” to be.

Nakeisha is superb! She breaks down her sessions in bite size, doable pieces so that you never feel overwhelmed or stupid. I like the fact that she doesn't enable me but gently guides me and helps me recognize behaviors that have stemmed from childhood trauma. She is open-minded, considerate, and makes me feel comfortable to share anything. I count down the time between sessions. I think of her like a gas station; when I am low on fuel, she has a way of refueling me with her words of encouragement. I've seen progress within myself, thanks to Nakeisha.

This counselor is amazing. She continues to check up on me even when I feel like I don't particularly need counseling. She really cares and I can tell that she loves her job and what she's doing. I'm glad I found therapist that makes me feel safe and cared for. I dont know if I would have ever found that where I'm located out in town.

Nakeisha listened to everything I had to say in a non judgemental manner whilst also offering me advice on how to restructure negative thought patterns whilst simultaneously helping me deal with other struggles I was having with relationships. I’ve had CBT before but I found that Nakeisha was more helpful as she explained to me the mechanisms behind why I think in certain ways due to my anxiety.
