Hi! My name is Jenny, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).

Hi there, I'm so happy that you reached out for support. I am Mackenzie Phelps, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I provide a supportive space for individuals to explore their emotions, strengthen self-awareness, and develop effective coping strategies to enhance their overall well-being. I work with individuals ages 12+. I obtained my MSW through Simmons University and have worked in a variety of settings including crisis intervention services, inpatient and outpatient behavioral health, and substance use programs.
I have 20 years of experience working in the mental health and addiction field, I am a certified Gambling Counselor. Thirteen of the 20 years I spent in leadership roles. I have a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology and varied training in trauma, anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
Hello and Welcome!
I have been providing behavioral health treatment to child and adolescents for five plus years. I work with individuals struggling with issues related to adjustment to divorced or split families, grief associated with death or loss, trauma symptoms, self-regulation, ADHD/impulsivity concerns, anger and aggression, depression, social anxiety, those who struggle with transitions between activities, bullying, LGBTQ+, and many more.
Prior to opening my private practice I worked for an intensive in-home program called IICAPS for three and a half years and then transitioned to the role of a school-based clinician; which I still do full time.
Starting therapy is a meaningful step towards understanding yourself and creating lasting change. Together well work to explore the challenges youre facing, and help you mover towards greater balance and fullfillment.
As a licensed professional counselor, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to goals, growth, and stability. For eleven years I was a school counselor which highlighted the growing mental health needs. So, the past three years I have shifted my focus to private practice to help clients ages 8-40. Seeking help is one of the hardest parts in your journey, so congratulations on taking that first step and prioritizing your mental health!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Manchester
Searching for therapists in Manchester starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for specialties, therapy approaches, and populations served that align with your needs. A bio that mentions approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care can help you understand how a therapist may work with you.
Manchester is a smaller Connecticut city, so the number of nearby in-person offices may vary by neighborhood and schedule. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you see a therapist licensed in Connecticut. Some people prefer meeting in an office, while others choose virtual sessions for schedule flexibility. To narrow your search, compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also show how a therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Manchester can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new clients. You can browse profiles, review availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
