About Nora McNally

Nora McNally, LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor), brings 15 years of experience supporting adults who face obstacles to living their lives fully. She has worked extensively with trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, compromised self-esteem, major life changes, and both physical and emotional abuse, helping clients navigate complex emotional and relational challenges.

She prioritizes the development of a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change. That relationship creates a space where the client's experiences are treated as a unique narrative to be heard and explored with compassion and respect, allowing therapist and client to collaborate on meaning-making and practical steps forward.

Her approach is client-centered and trauma-informed, drawing on a range of clinical methods to suit each person's needs. Modalities she uses include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Existential Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy, among others. These tools are integrated to address symptoms, strengthen coping skills, and support lasting growth.

Nora views the decision to pursue mental health care as an expression of courage and commitment. She values helping people enhance the fullness and quality of their lives through thoughtful, individualized therapeutic work.
