About
Ingrid McCarty
In addition to receiving a specialization in Family Therapy from Washington University, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a member of the National Association of Social Workers and the Academy of Certified Social Workers, as well as the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy.
As a mother of a child with multiple, severe disabilities and life threatening medical issues I am intimately aware of how challenging situations affect a person and their family and what emotional pain feels like. I have learned to overcome extreme difficulties and it has undoubtedly made me a stronger person and a better therapist that can truly understand and connect with others. I have gained unique insight into how to rise above even the greatest of challenges and I want to help you do the same.

"I knew instantly when I read Ingrid's biography on my insurance provider list that this was a person I wanted to learn from. She has faced a lot of adversity in her life, so she can empathize with the pain and struggles I have. I could not have made it through them without the tools, skills, strategies, and help I received from her. She is real, has a lot of integrity and is not just paraphrasing therapy phrases."

"She is beyond amazing! Words can’t fully describe how much she has helped me out. If you are struggling with any issues, go see her. You won’t regret it."
