Phyllis McNair, LMSW (Virtually in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Virginia)
With a deep commitment to empowering others, I was inspired to pursue a career in social work after my own life experiences motivated me to help individuals achieve their goals. I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Kean University in 2012 and have since dedicated my career to supporting children, youth, adults, and families across diverse settings. My experience includes working in residential centers, independent living programs, the child welfare system, non-profit agencies, family court, and the mental/behavioral health field.
I take a solution-focused and strengths-based approach to therapy, prioritizing culturally competent care for clients from all backgrounds, particularly Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). I am passionate about creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can address a range of issues, including anger, anxiety, stress, racial and cultural identity, women’s issues, self-esteem, adoption and kinship caregiving, and LGBTQ+ concerns.
I thrive on working with clients who are ready to make meaningful changes in their lives. My ideal clients are those struggling with anger, anxiety, stress, and identity issues, seeking understanding and balance as they navigate their challenges. With several years of experience supporting individuals facing mental health and behavioral difficulties in home, school, and community settings, I have a strong background working with children, youth, and families, particularly within the child welfare system and adoption.
Having served as a case manager, I understand the importance of providing resources and support to families and adults. My experience in the court system regarding family matters such as custody, visitation, and divorce has further enriched my understanding of the positive impacts that strong support networks can have on individuals’ success.
I look forward to collaborating with clients to help them find control, balance, and fulfillment in their lives.
