I believe that resiliency is in each of us. You may have tried multiple ways to create change for yourself and found it difficulty to break out of unhealthy patterns. These feelings may be affecting your work, relationships, or health. I have worked with many individuals and couples who struggle with creating change long term. Whether you've tried therapy before or this is your first time, deciding to step outside your comfort zone and try something different is the first step to a more fulfilling life.

Now accepting new Aetna clients! Being a human can be really hard sometimes. Maybe it’s hard because there’s an area in our lives where we struggle, like in our careers or relationships.

My name is Kim Mackanic and I’ve provided therapeutic services for trauma survivors and individuals facing mental health and addiction issues since 2009.
Each part of your identity (race, culture, gender, sexual orientation, ability, and more) impacts how you experience the world and how the world responds to you. Using a social justice framework, we can begin to understand how we got here, how to create and advocate for change, and how to imagine a more equitable future.

My patients come to me because they are interested in: addressing disordered eating and body image issues; learning to live better with medical problems; reconsidering their use of alcohol and drugs; or learning to live in their bodies as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or non-binary individuals.
I draw from psychodynamic approaches, which emphasize how past experiences and relationships shape our present reality. However, in my experience, insight is rarely sufficient to produce change — we also must change our actions. To this end, I am trained in cognitive and behavioral therapies. I also love reading the latest psychological research.

I am called when you have a loved one that needs help for an addiction, whether that be a substance like alcohol, heroin, prescription drugs or a process addiction like gambling, but is resistant to getting the treatment they need.
Doing a successful intervention takes solid, clinical knowledge of addiction, as well as experience, finesse, and respect for the patient that is suffering from this disorder and their families. I have all of these qualities. If you would like to see me discuss this, please look at a segment I’ve done on The Dr. Oz Show: https://bit.ly/3iRWnde
