McKenzie McClaran

I am a dedicated mental health counselor specializing in trauma, substance abuse, and perinatal mental health disorders, alongside general mental health. My approach emphasizes the importance of self-understanding and compassion, guiding my clients toward healing through mindfulness and somatic techniques. I am passionate about creating a safe and nurturing environment for individuals seeking to explore their inner selves and transform their struggles into sources of strength.

This experience fuels my passion for creating a safe, empathetic space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings. With a certification in substance abuse counseling & training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), I can effectively support individuals navigating both substance use and mental health challenges. I focus on trauma through EMDR and integrate IFS (Internal Family Systems) to foster compassionate self-exploration.

Having faced my own mental health struggles, I understand how destabilizing these issues can be. Through my journey & expertise, I strive to share the insights & skills I have developed, supporting others in their quest for healing. The goals during our sessions can include de-sensitizing ourselves to trauma triggers, becoming more understanding of the perinatal period, and how to get back in control of substance use.
