Mrs Rena McGrath

Licensed Professional Counselor

“I treat adolescents and adults with a focus on ADHD, Autism, Trauma, and LGBTQ+ clients. Online services available.”

About Me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Turner, Oregon. I provide counseling for life transitions, anxiety, autism (ASD), behavior or conduct issues, and LGBTQI+ support. I teach practical coping skills and help you build clear, step-by-step plans for change.

Approach

Working with neurodivergent, trauma-impacted, and LGBTQ+ clients, I keep therapy practical and paced to your tolerance so change feels doable rather than overwhelming. In Turner, Oregon or online in English, sessions are focused and collaborative, with clear agendas, short in-session experiments, and homework tailored to your routine. I teach concrete coping tools, sensory-aware adjustments, and stepwise strategies for attention and behavior, and I check in on how you used them between appointments. This approach tends to help people navigating transitions, attention differences, or identity-related stress move forward with confidence.
