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 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.
