Hopeful Journeys: Your Partner in Mental Health

My Journey on Becoming a Therapist

My name is Sonia McKee and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LW61517947) and have experience as  Mental Health Therapist.

Growing up, I thought there was something wrong with me because I was so scared of life and failure. There were times when I could not stop the racing thoughts, my heart beating so fast, feeling like I was out of breath, sleepless nights, headaches, and muscle tension. I tried to hide my worries, fears, anxieties, and stress. Mental health and treatment were very stigmatized, which lead to me suffering quietly. As I grew up, I realized I was not alone in experiencing anxiety. I was determined to find the secret of being brave and having courage while managing anxiety. As I started to improve, I decided that I wanted to share the information I have learned with others so they could also face life while managing their anxiety, stress, and worries.
