Specializing in teens and young adults

ABOUT

McKenna is a skilled and compassionate therapist specializing in teens and young adults. She combines her own experience with the latest research to help guide individuals through their transition into adulthood. In her practice, she sees clients dealing with anxiety, perfectionism, and those struggling with addictive behavior.

Specialties

  • Anxiety

    Anxiety is a normal feeling that ramps during adolescence. It can derail teens from daily functioning or be harnessed into an amazing asset. I work with teens to build a relationship to their anxiety and not let it control their life.

  • Perfectionism

    Many teens in the Bay Area live with a lot of pressure and socially sanctioned perfectionism. Despite being highly functioning, teens grapple with these pressures in private, which takes a toll on their mental health. I work with teens to help build their self-esteem and resilience.

  • Addiction

    Teens have constant avenues to escape their negative emotions, which rob them of the opportunity to work through their feelings and build self-esteem. Whether it’s nicotine, weed, or TikTok, I help teens and young adults break free of their addictions and build healthier coping skills.

  • Your mind is the basis of everything you experience and of every contribution you make to the lives of others. Given this fact, it makes sense to train it.
