Kevin McDermott is a Licensed Associate Counselor with experience in private practice and a foundation in DBT. He works with children, adolescents, and adults on a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, substance use, and life transitions. Kevin also spent time as a group counselor in a hospital setting, supporting people with eating disorders. Working with clients from all backgrounds has made him flexible and adaptable in any setting, and he is especially passionate about helping children and adults who struggle with anxiety and depression.
Before becoming a licensed clinician, Kevin spent 10 years as a school counselor in private K-8 schools, where he developed a particular passion for helping children with school-related anxiety. He has also coached baseball and squash.
Kevin believes a trusting relationship is at the heart of good therapy. His first goal is to create a warm, welcoming, non-judgmental space where clients feel comfortable being themselves. He also believes mental healthcare is a human right and is glad to work with others who share that belief.
Outside of work, Kevin enjoys watching baseball, going to concerts, listening to music (and sometimes playing guitar), and exercising whenever he can. He loves keeping up with new movies and TV shows and is a big animal lover.
