Psychotherapy, Counseling and Life Coaching

Ed McKinleyI am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with a prior business background and over 25 years of experience providing Psychotherapy, Counseling, and Life Coaching, as well as related services in multiple settings with a wide variety of individuals, groups, families, and organizations.

LICENSED IN  MASSACHUSETTS AND NEW HAMPSHIRE

I have been providing services in the North Shore, Seacoast areas, as well as Southern NH, for over 25 years. I am now seeing my clients through a secure online portal. My clients, past and current, have found this method of delivery helps them to better manage their time and offers more flexibility in scheduling.

Chances are, if you are reading this, you or someone you know and care about is struggling with one or more issues. Depression, anxiety, addictions to alcohol or other drugs, or even just a general sense of discontentment with life. You have probably been living with these feelings for quite some time, hoping that each day will bring more ease. You may have considered seeing a therapist, and maybe others have suggested talking to a professional. Still, you may be stuck with the idea that mental health and emotional issues are a “weakness” or even a “moral” issue.

Let’s face it…if it were a simple matter of “pulling ourselves up by our proverbial bootstraps,” or just “willing” ourselves into a better frame of mind or life experience….we would.

There are many possible reasons why you or a loved one seem unable to make changes on their own, and just as many possible solutions.

Finding the right professional to help you sort out and resolve whatever challenges you face should be fairly simple, but often, for many reasons, it is not. I try to be available to anyone in need of direction, whether that results in your becoming a client or not.

If, after reviewing my site, as well as possibly others, you remain unsure or struggle to connect with someone, please don’t hesitate to contact me. If I don’t think that I am the right person for you, I am happy to provide direction and/or referrals to colleagues who may be a better fit for you
