Intro

Hi, I’m Dr. Erica McKinney—affectionately known as Dr. E. I am a Licensed Psychologist in the State of Wisconsin and PsyPact. With over a decade of clinical experience, I specialize in helping individuals navigate complex medical and psychological challenges. My work is grounded in the belief that healing and growth happen not just within individuals, but ripple outward to affect families, communities, and society. I’m passionate about making a meaningful impact—one person at a time.

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

As a Licensed Psychologist with expertise in Health Psychology, I am passionate about helping individuals create lives that are meaningful and fulfilling. This values-driven approach guides my work with autistic and neurodivergent clients, as I aim to support their well-being, autonomy, and authentic self-expression.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

You are a dynamic individual, and I believe that seeking help is a courageous act. To support you on this journey, I use a culturally responsive, client-centered, and strengths-based approach. This means meeting each person where they are, as I believe this is the most compassionate and affirming way to help someone thrive.
