Meet the Person Behind Ivory Oak
Hi, I’m Mataya McCarthy, the person behind Ivory Oak Counseling & Wellness. I bring over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, including work in community mental health and supervised clinical experience in private practice settings.
I’m creating Ivory Oak with the hope of providing a welcoming, supportive space for adults and adolescents ages 12 and older throughout Texas. I value authenticity, compassion, and collaboration, and I believe meaningful counseling begins with genuine connection, understanding, and respect for each person’s unique experiences.
