About

Hello! Thank you for taking the first step to come here. My name is Jake McCann. I currently live in Rockville, MD. I have been a therapist for 8+ years in MD working with many different populations. I am passionate about helping people that are in transition or have questions and supporting them in finding the answers. I believe in supporting you on the path that you choose and helping you build confidence in your abilities.

Education & Licensure
MSW from the University of MD, Baltimore; Bachelors of Psychology from University of MD, College Park
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I believe that working with those that are neurodivergent or autistic is about giving them access to or building the skills that they have while helping them to explore their own unique way of interacting with the world. My goals are to help to identify and navigate those places that there are challenges, and help them to find strategies that work for them to feel understood and be able to truly engage in the way that they want.

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

I am all about building confidence in yourself. It is not about being accepted by others, but acceptance of yourself. I do that by helping you to build strengths and see places that you are capable and have value. When needed, we can explore things that take away that confidence and how to find positive mindsets, working to replace negative beliefs. I listen and validate feelings to create a environment that encourages exploration of yourself.
