Stephanie Mackey
Hi! I'm Stephanie and I'm so glad you found me! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I help people build self-esteem, decrease anxiety and depression, improve relationships, increase productivity, and approach life’s challenges with greater clarity.
I help people build self-esteem, decrease anxiety and depression, improve relationships, increase productivity, and approach life’s challenges with greater clarity.
I specialize in helping individuals overcome obstacles and create positive changes in their lives. I primarily support concerns with anxiety, depression, perinatal/postpartum support, infertility, stress, burnout, self-esteem, people pleasing, relationship issues, perfectionism, parenting/ co-parenting, career planning, and life transitions.
First session
Our work will begin with an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share what brings you to therapy and what goals you hope to achieve in therapy. I'll gather some information and then we’ll work together to make those goals a reality! I strive to create a warm and inviting environment where you feel comfortable to share and be vulnerable.
Strengths
I take a holistic and collaborative approach to therapy, working with you as a team to develop skills and insights that lead to lasting growth. Incorporating strength-based and evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, I aim to provide you with tools that you can carry with you beyond our sessions- whether it’s managing stress, improving your relationships, or navigating life’s many transitions. I believe that each of us has the capacity for healing and growth, and my role is to help you uncover your strengths, gain clarity, and move toward a life that feels more aligned with your goals and values.
Ideal clients
I have a passion for working with individuals with: - Anxiety: If you feel constantly on edge or overwhelmed, I provide practical tools to help calm your mind and regain control of your daily life. - Maternal Mental Health: From pregnancy planning and beyond, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to explore the emotional highs and lows of motherhood. Together, we’ll work through feelings of stress, identity shifts, and the emotional toll that often accompanies this journey. - ADHD: Whether you’ve been recently diagnosed or managing ADHD for years, I help individuals find focus, improve organization, and build self-confidence in a world that often feels fast-paced and overwhelming. Beyond these passions, I enjoy helping individuals with concerns around confidence/self-esteem, communication, burn-out, motherhood, life transitions, relationships difficulties, and stress-management. Life transitions (whether big or small) can leave us feeling uncertain, disconnected, or unsure of our next steps. My goal is to guide you through these changes with confidence, helping you strengthen your relationships, improve communication, and build a stronger sense of self-worth.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is evidenced-based treatment that is clinically proven to help a variety of mental health concerns. I use it to help my clients identify and address inaccurate or unhelpful thoughts in order to gain a clearer perspective on challenging situations so that they can respond more effectively. It’s effective for treating anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues by focusing on problem-solving and practical strategies for improving emotional regulation. Through CBT, my clients will learn skills needed to improve their relationships, happiness, and overall fulfillment in life.
Strength-Based
Strength-Based approaches focuses on a client’s strengths and resilience rather than their problems. I use this method to highlight my clients' abilities, foster their self-esteem, improve their personal outlook, and see themselves with more clarity. With increased self-confidences, clients are able to have a more positive outlook and take actionable steps towards their goals.
Integrative
I use an integrative approach with a combination of CBT, strength-based approaches, Mindfulness, and other approaches to cater to my clients individual needs. I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional that utilizes trauma-informed techniques to help my clients heal and improve their resilience.
