I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Connecticut who currently works with clients who experience symptoms of stress due to life changes/trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, career difficulties, obsessive tendencies, as well as difficulties with attention (ADHD). I work with individuals, couples, families, and I also facilitate groups for teens and adults.
My therapy style depends mainly on what works best for you. I am familiar with Cognitive behavioral, Symbolic-Experiential, Narrative, and Internal Family Systems therapy, as well as various other techniques, but honestly the most important aspect of my skill and training involves actually listening to what you want as we begin our journey.
In addition to being a Marriage and Family Therapist, I am currently working to complete my PhD in Human Development and Family Sciences. I am also married with 5 children, 3 dogs, and a cat!
I absolutely love being a Therapist! I take pride in my work, and I feel that every therapeutic relationship is unique. That being said, I encourage every client to view meeting a new therapist as like trying on a new pair of shoes: Some may fit, and some will not, and others may need extra time and attention. But you as the client should be given the opportunity to decide what fits best for you!
Additional areas of focus: Relationship issues, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Anger management, Self esteem, Coping with life changes, Coaching, Compassion fatigue, ADHD

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Timothy McKay. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Timothy has done a tremendous job in providing me the services I need, has shown a lot of flexibility in scheduling my sessions, and has been a great ear to listen to my issues and provide the counseling I need.
