There are many ways to support McKinley. You can make a financial gift, donate needed items, volunteer your time, or create a legacy — every form of support brings hope to children, youth, and families.

Individual Therapy

One-on-one sessions with licensed clinicians help youth develop coping skills, process emotions, and work through challenges such as anxiety, trauma, or behavioral issues.

Family Therapy

Family therapy supports healthier communication, connection, and shared problem-solving, especially during major transitions or times of stress.

Group Therapy

Group therapy provides a safe environment for youth to connect with peers, practice social-emotional skills, and feel less alone in what they’re facing.

Psychiatric Consultations

Licensed psychiatrists review presenting problems, current medications, psychiatric history, and behaviors to recommend next steps in care.

Medication Support

Includes evaluations for medication needs and collaborative discussions with caregivers about treatment options, risks, and benefits. All services are delivered in partnership with families—ensuring caregivers are informed, involved, and supported at every step.
