McKee Collaborative Therapy

We've been sitting on some exciting news, and we can hardly wait...

📦️ We're Moving! (But just a little!) We jumped on an opportunity to move into a more spacious, ground-level suite in our same building! As of Monday, June 29th, we'll be seeing clients in the new space. 🎉

It's a little bittersweet, as we imagined several more years in our cozy upstairs office, but life had plans for us to grow! We are so grateful for our time here and can't wait to see what lies ahead in Suite 121.

Some of our favorite upgrades include:
✴️ Improved accessibility
✴️ More room to stretch out
✴️ Windows in the waiting area
✴️ Space to sit outside

We can't wait to show you around! Updates to come!
