You will face many defeats in your life, but never let yourself be defeated by Maya Angelou. Life is full of positive moments where the strength to define ourselves and develop skills to live more fully are easily found. But when life becomes whittled with challenges, stress, and struggles, the test then becomes learning to navigate our feelings, recognize our thoughts, and make changes in our behavior to live more wholly. Most of the time we are capable of handling life’s stresses, but sometimes things can get too overwhelming and stressful, and we need help.

Hello, I’m an LMFT and I thoroughly enjoy my work as a therapist. My name is Kylie Mackenzie, but you can call me Ky. I change my approach with everyone I see, generally speaking, because everyone heals in their own unique way. My most common theoretical approach is client-centered (we are equals) and psychoanalytic (I’m a blank slate) so the focus is purely on you with a split of problem solving and breaking down the emotional parts of the issue. I am very familiar with working with adults and teens. I have experience working with substance abuse and dual diagnoses.

There are times in life that we find ourselves struggling to make sense of something that has happened or trying to figure out what is holding us back from being our best selves. We all have those relationships (friends/work/family/romantic), life changes, and events that impact us on deeper levels and influence our decisions, whether we know it or not. If you are seeking assistance with exploring past or present issues in your life, I am here to offer support and guidance.

Rachel's passion is to meet each client where they are in their life struggle, self, relationships, work, guide them through the process of self-actualization to achieve independence so that they can return to their full functioning. Rachel uses a tailored therapeutic approach and utilizes an evidence-based approach (CBT, DBT, ACT) and addresses specific problem areas - cognitive distortion, distress tolerance, acceptance, self-compassion, and behaviors that hinder people from moving forward in their lives, thus achieving positive and fulfilling outcomes, and ultimately improve functioning and imbalance.

I believe children and teens can learn, grow, and thrive when they have coping skills, feel empowered, and practice self-care. My goal is to encourage youth to learn who they are and how to advocate for their unique needs. I specialize in working with neurodiverse, gifted and twice-exceptional (2e) youth and their families. I encourage youth to use their strengths and interests in order to grow, heal, and cope. Building self-awareness, such as understanding their own sensory processing and asynchronous development, is an important part of my work with youth.

You feel stuck and don’t know what to do next, wishing you could stay in bed forever. What used to be easy now feels overwhelming. Your deepest fear is that you’re inherently bad, defective, "too much," unworthy, or unlovable. You might feel alone, isolated, frightened, angry, lost, or even enraged. If you’re queer, trans, gender nonbinary, neurodivergent, disabled, chronically ill, fat, or bigger-bodied, you’re welcome here. If you struggle with depression, anxiety, bereavement, disordered eating, or body image issues—no matter your age or if you’re seeking “outside help”—you belong. You are the expert on your own experience.

I grew up witnessing the effects of social injustice, conflict, and violence on individuals and communities that simply strive for peace and connection. I have spent decades of my life walking alongside survivors whose basic rights were stripped and who sought to identify a path towards healing and belonging.

Life’s transitions can shake your foundation, especially when they touch the most intimate parts of who you are—your body, your relationships, your dreams. Infertility, pregnancy loss, or medical trauma can leave you feeling untethered and questioning yourself, all while the world expects you to push through. But healing doesn’t come from ignoring the pain—it comes from honoring your emotions, rewriting the stories you carry, and reconnecting with your inner strength. Together, we’ll create space to rediscover clarity, trust, and meaning in your life.

You're usually the the go-to person for your family, friends, or coworkers so prioritizing your own mental health almost feels selfish. You feel like you have a million balls in the air, but if you stop they'll all come tumbling down. You want help from your partner or family, but you usually don't ask for it since you're often left disappointed and more frustrated. So you silently struggling, looking cool and collected on the outside, but you're really suffering on the inside. You know you need some help to finally slow down and navigate the burnout and stress you're feeling.
