My name is Samantha McKenzie and I'm a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP). I specialize in treating OCD, eating disorders, and anxiety disorders. A lot of my clients also struggle with perfectionism, depression, and self-criticism. I help them identify their inner critic and separate themselves from the OCD and eating disorder. I also have a special interest in working with athletes and helping them navigate the unique challenges that they face in sport; on and off the field/court.

Hello! I have over 25 years of experience walking alongside individuals through both challenging and transformative moments. I believe people heal best when they feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported, and I strive to create a therapeutic space where clients can safely explore their emotions, experiences, and personal growth without judgment.
I help individuals build resilience, expand their capacity to tolerate distress, and strengthen emotional regulation skills that support long-term well-being. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals. I believe meaningful change happens over time, and I work to support clients in growing at a pace that feels both safe and empowering.
