Understory Therapy

Located downstairs at Birds of a Feather, McKayli Abbe provides therapy services that are empowering, warm, and open-minded.

McKayli Abbe is a licensed therapist who works with adult individuals and couples navigating life transitions, relationships, and personal growth. Her approach is relational and collaborative, grounded in the belief that transformation unfolds through curiosity, presence, safety, and connection.

In sessions, McKayli invites a slower pace that creates space to notice how past experiences live on in the body, in relationships, and in protective patterns. The work is less about changing who you are and more about deepening self understanding and exploring what has carried you this far and what may no longer be needed in the same way.

McKayli integrates evidence based, experiential approaches that extend beyond conversation alone, supporting deeper awareness, emotional regulation, and meaningful change. Drawing on eight years of experience in community social work, she offers a steady, thoughtful presence shaped by care, respect, and deep attunement.

“Finding care that centered on being understood rather than fixed created space for deeper meaning and clarity in my own life. I bring that same attuned, respectful presence into my work. Therapy is most effective when there is a genuine connection.”
