Kellie Mackenzie
Clinician
I am a licensed clinical social worker and I’d like to partner with you as you find your way towards healing.
I work with adults as they navigate troubling relationships, codependency, and parenting challenges. I also offer couples therapy and support at all stages of a relationship. I am a Level 2 Gottman-trained therapist and place a strong emphasis on friendship, conflict management, and the creation of shared meaning.
My practice is compassionate, LGBTQIA+ affirming, trauma-informed, and client-centered. We will talk about difficult things, but we’ll do it with a light touch - balancing depth and intensity with gentleness and care and a bit of humor, too! During our sessions, we’ll talk about your struggles and the thoughts and feelings that get stirred up by them. Then, I’ll help you create the tools and find the skills to navigate those challenges differently. It’s as simple and complicated as that!

A bit about me…. I enjoy going on adventures with my family and two Labradoodles. I love live music, a warm cup of coffee day or night, and spending time near the ocean.
