Welcome! I'm Matt McKenzie, PhD, LPC-S, and I provide a collaborative, compassionate space for you to explore and harness your strengths in navigating life’s expected and unexpected challenges. With extensive experience supporting individuals through trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship-building, I use an integrative approach rooted in motivational interviewing (MI) and incorporating EMDR, existential, gestalt/psychodrama, narrative, solution-focused, and family systems therapies. My approach is to work with you, not on you, in creating a path toward growth and change.

I primarily work with adolescents and young adults, especially women and people of color, who feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand, or disconnected from themselves and their relationships.

I see life experiences as seeds - some big, some small, some uncomfortable, oddly shaped, smooth; the names of these seeds could be joy, pain, flux, transition, grief, or trauma. As we begin to collect seeds they take up space. Learning how to plant those seeds, foster and care for them, can possibly allow them to bloom. Through telling your story, the good and the not so great, it is my hope as a therapist to help provide the tools you need to sow your own garden.

I have over 16 years of counseling experience working with adults and adolescents. My passion is helping people recover, whether from addiction, anxiety, depression, PTSD, codependency, negative self-image, or divorce. I understand that parenting, relationship issues, life transitions, and grief can be difficult to navigate. I believe healing happens in community and no one should ever feel alone.
