Welcome to My Practice

Why do we do things that we know are not good for us? Why do we fight and argue with loved ones about the same issues over and over? Why do we lie awake at night, stricken with worry and anxiety? Why do we have great difficulty coming to terms with a loved one’s death, even if it’s after a long illness? The answers to these questions involve knowing the path of making your life meaningful and not succumbing to stress, trauma, and chronic pain. In the Psychology of Being Unique (PBU), Dr. Arthur McKenna has developed cognitive-behavioral methods and resiliency training that will help you to manage moods and modify undesirable behaviors through self-awareness and critical analysis. He will help you to take steps toward gradual and goal-oriented change.

Built on a solid foundation of neurological and behavioral research, PBU is not merely about helping you to deal with depression, anxiety, excessive anger, jealousy, and not getting along with essential people in your life. But it gives you the tools to discover meaningfulness in every circumstance. PBU illuminates the links between your philosophy of life, how you meet life’s demands, and how your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and physical health impact one another. Dr. McKenna will help you to develop concrete plans for self-improvement and improved relationships. It is an approach almost anyone can use for promoting more excellent behavioral health and improving quality of life.
