With years of experience in diverse settings—including residential and outpatient mental health treatment, community outreach for individuals experiencing homelessness, and supporting veterans at the VA—Mackenzie has developed a deep understanding of the unique challenges people face. Mackenzie offers individual therapy for adults, helping them improve quality of life, relationships, and emotional well-being.
