I have been a clinical psychologist since 1994, and I am currently licensed in West Virginia. I have also been a college professor at West Liberty University since 2006. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, ADHD, parenting problems, nursing home concerns, career challenges, and PTSD I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

Dr McClain has already helped me after only a few sessions. I actually look forward to our sessions. I am not a fan of therapy, but she gives me a little bit of hope.

Dr. McClain is courteous, respectful, professional and speaks on my level without being judgmental or pushy. I can relate to her and feel lucky to have her as a therapist at this fragile place in my life.

Tammy, is super nice & non judgemental. Her guidance is wonderful! She really knows how to help get you through life's challenges . She helps you see things differently with her approach. She is always checking in just to see how you are doing, which is a nice bonus.

Thank you for getting me through a difficult period and to see things in a new light. I needed a shoulder and she listened. She has given me little helps along the way to make life a lot less aggravating.

I have worked with Dr. McClain in the past and she helped me process and work through a stage of life where I felt confident and empowered to implement those tools to grow solo for a while. I am back with her now with new life stage developments to learn and process some more things and I’m confident she will empower and educate me to confidently and adequately step into these current and future situations.

She’s amazing and has really helped changed my way of thinking and helps me better understand life.

My therapist has not given up on me even when I have given up on myself over and over again. She listens and also empathizes with my past but challenges me to keep making strides towards moving forward. I am so thankful for this platform as I am not sure I would be able to fit in the schedule of traditional therapy in an office. I have been through a lot of therapy in my past and I was never able to connect with a therapist as much as I do with the one I have now. I am finally starting to see a future for myself where I don't need someone always cheering me on and I might be able to be that person for myself. I am just so thankful.

Dr. McClain had been extremely responsive and very understanding. She has helped me identify areas in my life where I need to shift my thinking. Her perspective has been invaluable.

Working with Dr. McClain has given me an understanding on the importance of the relationship with a therapist. She's always been attentive, patient, and understanding. She's also been great at guiding the conversation and giving space to allow me to verbally process my thoughts. Having a good experience and relationship with her encouraged me to be vulnerable and candid throughout our sessions!

Dr. McClain is knowledgeable, courteous, thoughtful, and understanding. It is always a pleasure to make her acquaintance, and always an honor to receive her council.

My conversations with doctor MCClain was limited to one session. However in the one session she was very interested is what I had to say without interruption, and I never felt rushed. She asked me some thought provoking questions, which gave me pause to think about, thoughts that had not crossed my mind. She provided me with insight, and offered a few suggestions that made sense.
I would not hesitate for a second to reccomend her. She also has sent me a follow up text to see how I was doing. It just felt good to know she was a text away if I needed her.

Dr. McClain has been highly encouraging in the 3 sessions I’ve had with her so far. She was quickly able to filter through my “everything is horrible my entire life” verbal purging on our first session. She’s also great at tolerating my dramatic life, and assigning me ways to be a better human for all.
