HOLISTIC COUNSELING, THE WAY TO INNER PEACE
How's It Going?
Do you feel like you’re stuck and can’t move forward? Are you worn out, disappointed, frustrated and fed up? Do you feel like the challenges of life are out of your control? Well, there’s something you should know. There’s nothing wrong with you!
“ASKING FOR HELP DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE ARE WEAK OR INCOMPETENT. IT USUALLY INDICATES AN ADVANCED LEVEL OF HONESTY AND INTELLIGENCE.”
Whether you prefer online counseling, therapy sessions in my Ofallon, Il. office, or phone counseling, it would be a privilege to help you develop healthier ways of coping and provide wellness tools to assist you in doing so.
You don't have to go it alone.
Counseling
Feeling worried, depressed, or unfulfilled? Feel good again and more hopeful about your future. Counseling can help you take the steps toward increasing self-awareness so you can learn problem-solving and coping skills, manage stress, improve relationships and enjoy life again.
Psychotherapy
Do you feel stuck, like you’re repeating a pattern over and over in your life that you can’t seem to change? Psychotherapy will look at chronic negative feelings and thoughts that are often hidden below the surface of your conscious mind. Discover what is really preventing you from being truly happy in your life.
Holistic Practices
It doesn’t matter what problem brings you into therapy – an integrated holistic approach to counseling and psychotherapy ensures you will be recognized as a whole person with an appreciation that you have physical, psychological, social, and spiritual needs, with each dimension being necessary for optimal levels of functioning.

Your Therapists
Gina
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Wellness Coach
Hi, I’m Gina McKee. In 2010, I founded Gina McKee Wellness in downtown Ofallon, Il.
As an intuitive and interactive educator and therapist for over 30 years, my approach is to provide sensitive support and thoughtful strategies to help you resolve both current problems and long-standing patterns.
I have personal as well as professional experience in western humanistic psychology and eastern wellness practices, which has provided me a broad therapeutic background to better help you and to teach you how to help yourself.
Remy
Pet Therapist
Hi, I’m Remy, Gina’s co-therapist.
During in-office sessions, I provide unconditional emotional support and companionship. As a hypoallergenic therapy dog, I can aid in facilitating social interactions to help you embrace the therapy process.
My calm, loving temperament, helps create a safe and welcoming environment where you will naturally come to terms with your emotions.
Even though I’m open to accepting hugs, back scratches and smiles, my real reward is watching you transform into your best you.
Your Sessions
Doing any inner work, whether for challenging dilemmas in everyday life or deeper exploration into why you do the things you do, requires re-setting your inner compass for increased self-awareness, higher cognitive functioning and the increased ability to sustain inner peace. Finding the right tools to handle every season of life encourage a wellness-oriented lifestyle.
MBCT
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy enhances your ability to stay in the present moment and identify your unpleasant feelings so you can focus on changing the way you think.
SFBT
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy focuses on what you do well and helps you set and achieve attainable goals. As little as 3 or 4 sessions may be beneficial.
FAMILY SYSTEMS THERAPY
FST utilizes the idea that your behavior is inextricably connected with the behavior and attitudes you have learned from your family.
ACT
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches you to: Accept your reactions; Choose a better path; and Take action to make forward progress in your life.
Pet Therapy
Remy’s positive and affirming presence creates a safe and welcoming environment, where you will naturally come to terms with your emotions.
Complementary Approaches
Open-mindedness to nontraditional types of therapy like Chakra Psychology and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) enhances insight and levels up your life.
Manage and Overcome
My approach to therapy is grounded in respect and curiosity. No matter what you’re going through now, learning coping skills and developing compassion for yourself can drastically reduce mental health symptoms and increase your standard of living.
