About me
Hello! My name is McKenzie Thomas and I am a licensed therapist with over six years of experience specializing in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and adjustment disorders. I work with adults and adolescents, particularly those who are navigating the challenges of life transitions, identity, and mental health struggles. As a mixed-race therapist, I bring an understanding of cultural sensitivity and an appreciation for the unique experiences of individuals from diverse backgrounds.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I use a collaborative, person-centered approach in my work, which means I see you as the expert of your own life. My ultimate hope is to help you navigate confusion or overwhelming emotions and provide support as we work together to find increased mental clarity and direction. My approach integrates a range of evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My approach is direct and I firmly believe in building a connection as we progress in therapy as I understand that it can be strange to open up to a new person. I will meet you where you are while also working together to get you on the path to where you would like to go as we address barriers that have been getting in the way.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Young adults and/or adults navigating life transitions (I.e. relationship changes, moving states, starting a new phase of life). Also individuals who are trying to practice and learn assertive communication skills/ boundary setting, or wanting to increase their self-esteem. Individuals with anxiety/depression wanting to learn and implement coping skills to manage symptoms and different emotions. Clients eager to learn adaptive coping skills.
