Find a therapist in Texas — covered by insurance

My name is MacKenzie, and I’m a proud Texas native from the Panhandle. After earning my Bachelor’s in Psychology in 2012, I began my career in the helping field and later completed my Master’s in Counseling at West Texas A&M University in 2016.

I began by working with teens in foster care and later transitioned to supporting youth involved in the juvenile justice system. I then spent over a decade working in public schools, providing mental health support to students, families, and staff. In addition to my work with teens, I developed a deep appreciation for working with women during my time at a nonprofit counseling agency.

I have also been involved in helping found a local nonprofit organization that provides free counseling services to youth. I currently serve as a board member of the Amarillo Mental Health Professionals group and volunteer with American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, including engaging in public policy advocacy at both the state and federal levels.

I’m passionate about empowering others and helping them to heal, grow, and find their voice. My counseling style is eclectic, with a strong foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

I have a strong passion for learning about the importance of mental health and decided to complete my graduate studies at Capella University. I graduated with a Master’s in Clinical Counseling and completed my practicum hours at a mental health hospital in San Antonio. I have been providing services to the following age groups: aged-school children, adolescents, and adults. I have experience and can offer services to the following: grief, transitions, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, attachment, relationships, and codependency. My well-rounded experience has allowed me to make connections and provide services to people from different backgrounds.
