Keeyana McLish,LPC

My name is Keeyana McLish and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Birmingham, Al. I work with children, adults, and adolescents specializing in trauma, depression, impulse control, anxiety, grief, and stress. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy to create treatment catered to each individual client’s needs. My approach to therapy is based solely on the client’s individual needs. I utilize CBT and Person-Centered therapy as a guide to assist clients in changing how they experience mental health. I make a connection with each client and provide a comfortable space for the client to be able to express themselves. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I cater my approach based on the age of the client. I work with clients to navigate whatever they may be experiencing in their lives and provide a listening ear so that they feel validated and heard. My communication style is calm, personable, and comforting. I want my clients to be able to express themselves and understand that they have someone to listen to them. I decided to become a therapist when I was in college. I realized that I wanted to help people get through their challenges and realize they can overcome anything they desire. I am fulfilled when I see my clients grow and overcome. My goal for therapy is to work with the client to come up with a plan to achieve their goals. I want to build a trusting relationship with my clients that allows them to be able to grow. We will work together on developing a plan to assist you in achieving your goals. In our first session together, you can expect us to discuss what brings you to counseling and ask questions to get an understanding of how I can help. We will work on building a trusting relationship and connecting with one another. I will make this experience personal to you.
