Katherine McKay, Ph.D., LLC

 I am a licensed psychologist in both New York and Florida with over 20 years of experience. Throughout my training and career, I have been intrigued by the power of relationships to heal and aid in coping.  I believe  that secure, loving connections have a powerful impact on the on the way we navigate challenges and thrive as humans.  This truth has borne true throughout the various clinical settings in which I have worked in the past 20 years, whether it is providing treatment to veterans at the VA hospital, first responders at a retreat center, students at a college counselling center, or a CEO in a leadership development program, the same truth was clear: relationships had the power to heal or hurt. The quality of our connections to a significant other has the power to shape how we see ourselves, others and our functioning in the world.  

 Presently, I have a private practice in Saint Petersburg, Florida where I work mostly with couples and survivors of trauma.  I have specialized training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

I love helping my clients to build strong, healthy connections.  I am so honored to have the opportunity to guide my clients through their journey of healing, whether it’s in individual or couple’s therapy or a Hold Me Tight Retreat.  I have the privilege of doing the work I love! I am a therapist, coach and consultant. In addition to my private practice, I also provide specialized PTSD treatment to first responders, executive coaching  and intervention and training as a team psychologist for a professional sports team.
