Patient Reviews
May 10, 2019
I had the privilege to have McKinney while, I was at CC in 2013 & to this day I feel she is the best in the field. She, is so down to earth, she was able to get me to open up(not easy), I felt like a person. She helped & encouraged me to see myself as she had seen me. I left CC as the person I lost years before. I became me again- in the short time I had w/her-I didn’t ever, leave a facility as strong & motivated as she helped me to become through, one of the toughest times in my life helping face my fears & deal/w the traumatic experience I had just been through. I no longer felt weak nor lost -I felt whole. She also, went out of her way on her time to reassure my family I was doing well. After, leaving I lived for the first time in many years! Still having to deal w/the situation I had sought help for-after, months of constant distress I unraveled. Called CC if, she’s there-drove hrs for her assistance sadly, she’s was off campus life happens. Much gratitude for her care & guidance!
