LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Allen, TX
I have an extensive background working with children, troubled teens and their parents, as well as Gay, Lesbian and Transexual individuals.
Therapy can be very helpful in addressing problems you may be having in your life. If you struggle with relationship problems, decision making, depression, anxiety, self esteem, impluse control, trauma, substance abuse, grief, addiction or life transitions; I can provide a neutral non-judgmental space to explore and resolve these issues. Many people believe they should be able to solve problems on their own and seek help often waiting until the situation has grown unmanageable. However, early interventions and proactive actions tend to lesson the impact of painful experiences, allowing you to move past problems more easily and quickly.

Counseling is supposed to be convenient, effective and helpful. Through evidenced based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and DBT, we are able to process trauma, explore and establish coping skills, and slowly but surely, start living again. I've worked in the nonprofit sector helping victims of domestic violence as well as other issues to include addiction, personality disorders, and family conflict. I work with the LGBTQ community and take pride in working with multicultural clients.

I use a blend of psychodynamic, relational, and skills-based therapies to support clients in navigating life stressors, difficult emotions, and relationships. I work with clients to build a therapeutic relationship rooted in warmth, compassion and trust, and I love to witness my clients connecting with themselves more deeply and attuning to their inner-knowing to create change in their lives. I believe that we all need support, and in this process I value the use of creativity and humor.

If your child is struggling with low self-esteem or anxiety, I can help. Maybe they are having emotional meltdowns at home or struggling with worries about school. They might compare themself to others and say "I'll never be as good as other kids." As a parent, you want the best for your child, but it can be difficult to know how to support them when it feels like they believe "you have to say that, you're my mom/dad." I can provide you and your child with the additional tools and support you need to feel happier and more confident that both of you will be able to handle any challenges that come your way.

Hello! I'm Mackenzie. I like to think of myself as your greatest ally; someone who will get down in the mud with you and help you pull yourself out of it. I help adolescents and adults navigate our unpredictable world and learn how to love themselves in the process. There is a lot of anxiety that can come up while being a human in this world, and it manifests differently for everyone. Together, we can explore what that looks like for you and how we can manage your relationship with your emotions. Then, we can dive into the roots of the struggle you're experiencing.

Transformation occurs when clients are able to uncover the hope that has always been hidden inside themselves.
Feeling lost, or maybe you’re struggling with a big life change? No one is too far gone or “broken.” My goal is to help you to finish your past, be present for today, and make progress forward into your tomorrows. I enjoy the process of walking alongside my clients’ unique experiences when they feel that they may be at their lowest point. I strive to provide a positive and encouraging space for my clients to become aware of the issues in their paths, while also helping them to uncover the hidden tools that they have access to. One process I process I love to implement is Name it-Claim it-Tame it-Change it.

Relationships provide a window to the heart of an individual like no other. Our closest relationships tend to reveal our most wounded places. Those hurts, if left unresolved, are carried forward and recast into our exiting patterns of relating. All our experiences, but most particularly our pain, become the filter through which we sift and construct our view of self, our approach to life, our capacity love and be loved, and our ability to trust.

In our relationships, we hope to feel connected, cared for, and understood. However, after a conversation with a loved one, you may find yourself feeling frustrated, misunderstood, or exhausted. Conversations can feel like they're going in circles and you may be blowing up or shutting down before reaching a resolution. You may even find yourself communicating in ways that hinder connection and understanding because you aren't sure how else to express how you feel. If this sounds familiar, please understand that you're not alone. Together we can all work to process those responses and have healthier conversations.

In life, we typically feel happiest when things are going exactly as we expect. Unfortunately, life and relationships rarely play out this way; leaving us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and powerless to meet our everyday challenges. I enjoy working with adults, couples, and adolescents who want to explore how to get unstuck and move forward. I have worked closely with children and adults struggling through various crises, including: grief, ADHD, interpersonal relationships, sexuality, identity, regulating emotions, self harm, trauma, and a wide array of other challenges.
