Hi, I’m Toni McKnabb, LCSW, therapist, speaker, facilitator, and founder of The McKnabb Collective.

I created The McKnabb Collective because I believe emotional wellness should be practical, honest, and accessible. So many people are moving through life carrying emotions they cannot fully name, patterns they do not completely understand, and experiences they have never had the space to process. My work is centered on helping people slow down, make sense of what they feel, and identify what needs to happen next.

At the heart of my work is emotional intelligence: learning what feelings are, how they show up, where they come from, and how to respond to them with more awareness and intention. I do not believe we can move forward well without first understanding where we are now and what shaped us along the way.

That is why my approach also explores environment. Family, childhood, adolescence, chosen family, relationships, work, culture, community, and social circles all shape how we see ourselves and how we move through the world. Whether I am working with an individual client, facilitating a group, or leading a workshop, I help people connect the dots between their lived experiences, emotional patterns, and desired growth.

The McKnabb Collective exists to create spaces where people can be honest, reflective, and supported while building the tools to communicate better, understand themselves more deeply, and move with greater clarity.

Through therapy, speaking, workshops, and group facilitation, I partner with individuals, schools, organizations, workplaces, and community spaces that want to move beyond surface-level wellness and create meaningful emotional growth.

You do not have to have all the words yet. Sometimes the work starts with simply asking: Where am I now, where did this come from, and where do I want to go from here?
