Mental Health Counseling

“Talk therapy” or psychotherapy is when you speak with one of our licensed therapists in a non-judgmental, safe, and confidential environment to explore your challenges, your successes, and to develop strategies to work towards your life’s goals and dreams. Our goal is for you to leave your first meeting feeling heard and supported. The counseling sessions will allow you to better understand why you act, feel, and think the way you do so that you become your own expert of your emotions and thoughts with the guidance and support of one of our experienced and caring therapists. Our mission is to promote efficient, effective, and lasting change that you deserve.

The relationship between client and therapist is the most important factor in successful treatment. At McNulty Counseling and Wellness we realize that no two people are the same and so we tailor our therapy to meet the individual needs of every client. Our treatment specializations for individual counseling include:

Our Therapists

The therapists at McNulty Counseling and Wellness specialize in a wide variety of issues. The most important indicator of successful counseling sessions is one’s openness to change and their relationship with their therapist. We promise you we have the therapist part covered. Our clinicians are down to earth, personable, relatable, and have a ton of experience when it comes to the most difficult issues. Many people come to us having had terrible experiences with prior therapists or are nervous to seek help because they feel like they’re going to be judged. We ensure you we’ve heard anything and everything so when you meet with our counselors there’s not a thing you can say that would make us cringe, judge, or do anything other than give you the best help possible.

As human beings, we all have our flaws. Sometimes our brains can project some pretty crazy thoughts, emotions, and behaviors but it’s our mission to destigmatize people seeking mental health treatment. We know it’s not easy but if you’re reading this there is a pretty high chance that you’re ready to engage in counseling with someone who understands you. If you’re looking for counseling in St. Petersburg, don’t put yourself through the suffering any longer and give us a call today! We’re looking forward to meeting you.
