Jamila McKinney, LGPC
I am a San Diego native, proud mother of three who is a Maryland Board-Certified Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor. Adding to what you already have, our time will be spent doing what I call “adjusting the lens”: adding more depth—more clarity to whatever has been difficult to identify. I specialize in creating a safe non-judgmental space to assist and support those working through intergenerational trauma, abandonment/attachment issues, depression, anxiety, marital challenges, and overall life issues. Your experiences and your story matters. My belief is, in life “it doesn’t matter how you start, it matters how you finish.” The goal is to help you to see just how powerful you are, identify the strengths you have within, and bring those forward to accomplish your therapeutic goals.
I offer limited face-to-face options in Bowie, Md.
