Great to meet you!

My name is Mackenzie McFarland, and I have a licensed marriage and family therapist in San Luis Obispo, California. I got my education from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with BA in Psychology and MS in Clinical Psychology.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I have experience working with those struggling with substance use/recovery, mood disorders (Bipolar), anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, change of life phases, and trauma.

What you can expect from our first session

Within my practice, I will collaboratively work with you to find a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you with evidenced-based approaches. Through this deeper understanding, you can notice an increase in self-awareness, better self-esteem, more enriching relationships with others, and lessening problematic feelings/behaviors.
