Travis

Welcome! I am Dr. Travis McKie-Voerste, and I bring a wealth of experience and dedication to the field of counseling. Since beginning my journey in the helping professions in 2005 and becoming a counselor in 2009, I have been deeply committed to supporting individuals in their paths to growth and well-being.

I hold a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision from the University of Georgia, an Education Specialist degree in Psychology and Counseling with a Mental Health Counseling concentration from Arkansas State University, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Psychology from Bemidji State University.

My counseling philosophy is based on personal construct theory, which involves a deep understanding of each client's unique experiences to facilitate meaningful change from within. I utilize a variety of evidence-based techniques, predominantly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), to ensure that my approach is both personalized and effective.

I am here to work with you, to understand your perspective, and to guide you toward realizing your fullest potential. I look forward to embarking on this journey together.
