Main Character Backstory
My name is McKenna Talley and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been providing mental health services for over a decade and I have been absolutely loving it. As a young adult, I had plans of making it on Broadway as an actress. My love for theater has stuck around, but over time I realized that I like helping real people recognize the role they play in their life is the greatest part they could ever have. Nothing speaks to my soul more than connecting to people and helping them find their main character energy. I grew up in North Carolina, lived in Utah for a few years (BYU BS Psychology), moved to Austin, TX for a bit (UT Austin MS Social Work), and finally landed in my beautiful home in the Bay Area. I have worked with Veterans, high school students, couples, and survivors of abuse. I have been providing virtual therapy services since 2020.
