We all long to be seen and understood, and to offer that same understanding to the ones we love. Sometimes, when this connection breaks down, it can leave us feeling lost or wounded. I believe that healing begins when we restore these essential connections — with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us.

I genuinely believe that no matter what you’ve gone through, you have immense potential to thrive. Through our sessions, I help clients identify the parts of themselves that have mastered the art of distraction, denial and destruction. However insight into an issue is only one part of the process. I partner with my clients to empower them with the tools they need to challenge unwanted patterns, to overcome dips in confidence and to show up as their most authentic selves in every space and relationship they occupy.

“Embracing new paths feels like trying to walk through a fog; every step is unknown.” “Adjusting to new realities feels like trying to rebuild a house on shifting sands.” “My mind often seeks refuge in old habits, even when they only offer temporary solace.” “I often find myself reaching for distractions, trying to numb the pain rather than heal it.” “When our inner turmoil overwhelms us, we might need to ask: whose expectations are shaping my self-worth?” Having encountered similar situations throughout my career, I am apt to offer assistance if you find yourself identifying with any of these scenarios.

Hi, I’m Melanie! If you’re raising a teen—or are one yourself—you know these years can be as confusing as they are important. I specialize in working with middle and high school students and their families, helping them navigate anxiety, school stress, social challenges, and conflict at home. I’ve worked directly with adolescents in school settings and in private practice, and I know how overwhelming these years can be for both teens and parents. My goal is to help families feel more connected, more confident, and more grounded, whether I’m working with a teen, a parent, or both.

I work best with clients who are motivated for growth - even if they’re unsure of what that looks like or where to begin. My clients are often navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, identity development, or unresolved trauma. I take a direct, collaborative approach and won’t just nod and listen - I ask questions, offer reflections, and challenge unhelpful patterns in a supportive way. My clients value authenticity and are looking for an inclusive, affirming space that welcomes all identities, including queer and gender-diverse individuals and couples.

My name is Emma MacKenzie and I view therapy as a safe place to share your story. It can be scary to start your therapy journey and you should be proud you made it here! I take a relational perspective in therapy and don't believe in defining someone by their symptoms. However, these symptoms such as anxiety, depression, or anger can get in the way of what we want to be able to accomplish in our lives and make even the happy elements harder to enjoy. I can help provide a space to understand these difficult emotions that hang over you so you can accomplish your goals, whatever they may be. I am not accepting reunification clients.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
