Clients say this provider is
I’m MacKenzie Miller, a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with over five years of experience. I graduated from Merrimack College with a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I know that reaching out for support can feel like a big step, especially when you're in the middle of a stressful or uncertain time. I bring a steady, calm presence to sessions, something I've built through years of crisis work, and I use that same grounded approach to help you build practical coping skills for anxiety, big life transitions, or moments that feel overwhelming. When I'm not in session, I recharge through movement, time at the beach, and time with the people I love, and I bring that same sense of balance into the way I encourage clients to care for themselves outside of our work together.
In our first session together, we will get to know each other! Once I understand your background and what is bringing you to therapy, we will create a treatment plan that will guide us throughout our time together. Before coming to your first session, you will complete intake paperwork including assessments that will give us a guide and understanding of where you are currently at and where you hope to be during our work together.
My clear and empathetic approach makes me a strong provider and a good match for a wide range of people. My ability to create a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients allows them to feel comfortable and relaxed while working with me. My modalities are adaptable as I have experience with people of all genders, races, sexual orientations, lived experiences, and diagnoses.
I am well-positioned to support individuals who want to improve their emotional well-being, strengthen relationships, build resilience, manage stress and anxiety, navigate life changes, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves. Whether working with a child, teen, or adult, I tailor my therapy to each person's unique needs, strengths, and goals, creating a collaborative path toward meaningful and lasting change.

Acceptance and commitment therapy is all that it says. Accepting yourself, understanding feelings, and moving forward without avoidance. ACT is a good intervention to have in therapy to help people not avoid their worries but instead learn how to live with them.
Cognitive Behavioral therapy is utilized in a wide variety of settings. More specifically, talk therapy can be used to work with a person to identify and change their thoughts and patterns of behavior. In CBT, a person will work on identifying cognitive patterns and behaviors and changing this cycle into a healthier and more adaptive way of living.
When someone is struggling with a behavior such as substance abuse motivational interviewing can be helpful. Motivational interviewing is used to explore curiosity and empathy with the client to help understand their behaviors. This modality can support change, develop insight, and increase a person's positive self talk over time.
I have utilized solution-based brief treatment in my crisis intervention work. When I am called into a crisis my first goal is to assess for safety and figure out what I can do or provide for the individual in the moment. The goal is a short solution-focused intervention and the treatment method is great while experiencing a crisis.
I believe in empowering people in their care. If people feel more empowered, more in control, and better able to take control of their lives, the better the success! I believe using person-centered therapy is a way to explore and grow and allows people to develop insight and understanding into themselves.
