Colin McLaughlin, M.A.
When providing therapy, I focus on helping individuals foster psychological skills and self-awareness so that they may develop the confidence to face unique challenges and work towards living their best life in accordance with their values.
My clinical specialties include:
• Adolescents and Young Adults • Anxiety & Social Anxiety Disorders • Depression • ADHD • Adjustment Reactions • Grief & Loss • Stress Management
I often utilize approaches that emphasize psychological flexibility, acceptance, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral skills. However, I like to tailor my approach to therapy for each individual in order to most appropriately address their unique needs.
Clinical Focus
I think diversity is important and have experience working with many presenting concerns. I do however have a clinical focus in treating adolescents and young adults struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, or trouble with adjusting to significant life changes/ challenges.
Profession Training & Background
I have been providing psychological care under supervision for several years. Currently I am a doctoral candidate completing an advanced practicum under the supervision of Jillian Wasson, Ph.D.
I earned an undergraduate degree in Behavioral Neuroscience from the University of Kansas. I also received a Masters in Clinical Psychology from Kansas City University.
I have experience working in inpatient psychiatric hospitals with adults, adolescents, and pre-adolescents to provide psychological testing, individual therapy, and group therapy.
A little about me
I am a brother, son, boyfriend, athlete, musician, and loving cat dad.
When I am not working on my dissertation or providing therapy, I enjoy spending down time with my friends and family, blowing off steam in the gym, and playing music with my band.
