“Working with Dr. McDermott really transformed my life. Her natural style helped me identify areas of my life that were holding me back and she helped me implement tools to strengthen my coping skills. I am so lucky to have found her.”

- Jane, Therapy Client

Therapy

I treat individuals, including teenagers (age 15+), young adults, and adults in my private practice. We can work on issues that include depression, anxiety, eating disorders, stress and significant life changes, grief and loss, relationship issues, anger management, low self-esteem, and trauma. My training is thorough and includes a variety of treatment models, including Interpersonal, Systems, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I often approach therapy from an integrated perspective, utilizing techniques from behavioral, interpersonal, and mindfulness-based approaches.  Tailoring therapy to your needs is critical, and I approach our work together in a way that will be most helpful to you. 

Complimentary Phone Session

Because I believe your relationship with your therapist is the most important part of therapy, I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation so we can determine the best approach for your therapy. If I am not the right therapist for you, I am more than happy to discuss appropriate referrals.

Billing and Payment

Therapy is billed at $125 per 50-minute session. I accept cash, check, debit, and credit card. While I do not accept insurance, I can provide you with a statement to submit to your insurance provider.
