Topnotched Dr. McCoy is professional, attentive and knowledgeable. She's gets me, and sees me too!

Dr. McCoy makes it so easy to talk and challenges your thought process. It has been a true joy to work with her.

She's amazing, she has really helped me get things and order, with some of past traumas. In addition, reminding me of the things I work hard on, to grow in a better direction. She is great at making me feel comfortable with being myself and my emotions to help me.

Ms. McCoy helped me tremendously when it came to being honest with myself about my feelings and prioritizing them for my well-being. She also used that insight to encourage me to independently make decisions that felt the best and healthiest to me. I feel like this process of honoring my true feelings and values and acting with them in mind is a crucial skill that I will remember for the rest of my life. She’s a great therapist.
