Sharon takes care of her clients so well. She honors the truth of any situation and makes sure we hear what we need to, even if we don't want to hear it. She always had my back and best interests in mind. Highly recommend.

Sharon McKay is such an excellent person and therapist! I was very nervous about trying BetterHelp but she always made sure I was comfortable and consistently considered my feelings. We’ve made great strides over the last few months and I already feel a lot better thanks to her professionalism and personal care she puts into her therapy. She is a very kind person who has helped me very much and I can’t imagine being treated by anyone but her at the moment.

I’ve never connected with a therapist like I have with Sharon. She genuinely listened to everything I had to say and even shared some of her similar experiences to relate to me. She had so many resources to share that related to almost every situation I was going through. It’s almost impossible to not be comfortable while talking to her. She’s amazing at what she does.

Sharon has been one of the most helpful therapists i’ve had. She helps me see things in different perspectives and I truly feel like she understands me and what i’m going through. She’s also very good at reading body language, mood shifts and stuff like that so even if i’m not saying it, she almost knows i’m thinking it and asks about it. Very friendly and accepting as well i never feel judged with her. I would highly recommend working with her.

I love her!! She is very personable and definitely not your average hallmark card therapist. She’s real and has first hand experience with issues I’ve faced. She obviously and truly cares for people. She makes her sessions feel as if your having a conversation with a friend, feeling inviting and comfortable. She really knows her stuff and is 100% real with you.

Dr.McKay is one of the easiest people to talk to. I have been in the service industry for over 10 years & experienced a significant amount of trauma. She has improved my way of thinking in just a short few months. She is very knowledgeable and really is there to help you. Dr.McKay was my first therapist so I was a little apprehensive about the seeking help.
She has made me feel like therapy was the best decision I could have made and all of my friends and family agree. I definitely recommend her services to everyone.

I’ve never done therapy before and I got matched with Sharon. I can just say that she LISTENS and really I think that’s the most important thing. I’ve had 4 sessions and the solutions to my issues or problems are just way easier to find with her guiding me. You will be in good hands with her in ur corner/ear.

She's amazing, super sweet, and listens really well. I'm glad we get to work together and she's so understanding, because it's hard to talk about my problems but I'm so comfortable around her.

Sharon is a straight forward therapist. She challenges you to get to the root cause and partners to identify if there are additional tools or resources she can provide to help you heal. She is an active listener that makes you feel heard and is focused on you and you alone when in session. Sharron checks in on me if she doesn't hear from me between sessions and responds very quickly when you reach out. If you need her, she's there for you!
