Lawanda (Wanda) McGee
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
My practice focuses on a plethora of life challenges such as anxiety, depression, transitions, and grieving.
I look forward to meeting you. I have been practicing for over 10 years and have worked with individuals of all ages. I believe therapy is an important asset in life where one is able to talk about life challenges and work on solutions that allow individuals to be the best version of themselves. My goal is to create a natural experience by nurturing a safe and welcoming environment, establishing trusting relationships, and promoting a judgement free zone where one can express themselves freely, overcome their challenges, and find balance in their lives. I believe in the philosophy “give yourself space to evolve” (Krista Aoki). I strive to provide others the space to grow, learn, and evolve. I am a candid therapist that doesn’t just tell you what you want to hear but helps you help yourself. I am committed to walking alongside you to overcome life challenges. I put an emphasis on understanding your world because this is important to advance and strive towards transformation.
