Attachment-based Therapists in Dallas, OR

You know that clear life plan you had when you were younger? Not going so well? Has it been dashed, changed, trampled on, destroyed or forgotten? Yah, I get that. I'm guessing that's why you are here. It's hard to know what to do when you are overwhelmed and isolated.

Life has challenges for everyone. Whether you are an individual trying to find direction for your life, relationships, career, or a couple who has found themselves on opposite ends of the couch or compromise, or are a family who is trying to adjust to changes in the family or ongoing challenges. It takes strength and bravery to ask for help; to sit in vulnerability and worry about judgement, acknowledge the shame and guilt, and fear it could only get worse.

Life is all about relationships! I seek to help others find the hope, healing, strength and grace needed to face the many challenges of life. My passion is assisting adults and couples to increase in resilience, coping and stress management skills and in the ability to encourage and appreciate themselves and others.

This is your place to feel seen, heard, and understood. I value giving people a safe space to share and feel seen. Sometimes we put on a mask to look positive, but underneath we're feeling overwhelmed, worn down, hurt, and discouraged. It can be an isolating experience, coupled with anxiety, sadness, and uncertainty. Although it can be intimidating to begin, therapy is a great place to let your guard down and share what's really going on inside. I'll help you find your way forward, and we'll do it together. I don't want you to go through this alone.

New Clients Welcome! Life presents its fair share of challenges, and having someone by your side can make all the difference. I thrive on collaborating with individuals who seek change and are open to exploring new avenues. If you're 14 years or older and struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, or autism spectrum disorder, you understand the complexities of navigating life. My approach is grounded in highlighting your strengths, and I utilize a variety of techniques to facilitate your healing journey. As a clinician, I prioritize flexibility, recognizing that each person is unique, and there's no one-size-fits-all solution.

Mackenzie Wild is a Couples Therapist practicing Emotionally Focused Therapy. Often couples disengage and become distant under the pressures of daily living and Mackenzie's specialty is working with couples who have young children, couples with combined/blended families, and couples with involved grandparents or in-laws. Through couples counseling, our work together can add breathing room and warmth so that the couple can turn toward and support each other during stress. EFT is evidence based and integrates trauma to establish new relational patterns, which improve connectedness and intimacy by changing the root.

Life can be heavy, overwhelming, and confusing at times - it can be hard to find connection, feel understood, and valued. Sometimes we all struggle to bring our emotions back into balance, handle difficult feelings, or be effective in relationships. I am here to walk alongside of you through these times. As a therapist who focuses on attachment and connection, we work together in a secure and judgement-free environment where you can learn more about yourself, make goals and create a more meaningful life.

Perhaps you are going through a rough patch and could use support and guidance, or perhaps you’ve struggled for many years and would like to see things differently, live things differently and are ready to “do therapy.” You are not broken. We each of us are inherently whole and in response to internalized messages and expected roles, or difficult situations and difficult histories, ill health, extreme stressors or trauma, our lives can feel broken. My passion is to help you feel more connected to yourself and the people you love and the world around you.

It can be difficult at times to ask for help. I'm glad you have taken the first step. I am a therapist with many years experience supporting a diverse population of clients. Most recently I have been working with midlife and seniors experiencing declines in health. Before this I was a children's therapist focusing on children with disabilities, and those who have experienced trauma. I also enjoy working with individuals who have struggled with addiction as their strength is inspiring. I am a former foster/adoptive parent and enjoy supporting all members of the adoption triad. Teens and young adults are also a focus.
