Shayna McGraw

Shayna McGraw is a licensed professional counselor practicing at Skybox Therapy PLLC, working by telehealth with clients across Arizona. Her focus is OCD and anxiety-related disorders, and she treats them with exposure and response prevention — by her own account, OCD clients make up about 95% of her caseload. She treats trauma with EMDR, and works with body-focused repetitive behaviors such as hair pulling and skin picking using habit reversal training. She sees teens from 13 through older adults.

She describes the work as structured and genuinely caring at the same time: meeting you exactly where you are and moving at your pace, while gently encouraging you to stretch beyond your comfort zone when you are ready. Her OCD treatment runs in phases — assessment, then active treatment, then a taper into maintenance — and she tracks progress with repeat assessments, so improvement is measured rather than estimated. She says most clients reach the maintenance phase in roughly twelve weeks.

Alongside ERP, EMDR, and habit reversal training, Shayna draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and brings in Emotional Freedom Technique and psychoeducation on holistic approaches where they support the clinical work. She describes herself as patient and thoughtful, someone who likes to think outside the box, and a lifelong learner who brings what she finds back into the room. Her path into the field began after she graduated from California Baptist University, with early work in a school district, then with adolescents in juvenile residential programs, refugee youth, and clients referred through county social services, before she moved into private practice. She is a member of the Arizona Counseling Association, EMDRIA, and the International OCD Foundation.

Shayna holds a master’s degree in counseling psychology from California Baptist University and is licensed in Arizona as a Licensed Professional Counselor, #24225. She has completed EMDR basic training and is working toward full certification, and is trained in exposure and response prevention and in habit reversal training through NOCD’s clinical program for licensed therapists. She is also a Certified Elite Brain Health Clinician through Dr. Daniel Amen’s program. Sessions are private pay — $100 for 30 minutes, $130 for 45, $169 for 60, and $250 for 90 — and a free consultation comes first. Her current openings are Thursday evenings at 6:00, 7:00, and 8:00.
