Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Rockford, IL

Therapy, at its best, can lead to emotional freedom. My work is shaped by the unique needs and lived experiences of each person I meet. Grounded in a trauma-informed perspective and supported by evidence-based practices, I bring care, steadiness, and flexibility to the work. I have extensive experience in crisis intervention, group therapy, and individual psychotherapy. My hope is that clients feel genuinely seen, supported, and free to explore what healing can look like for them.

My name is Macy (she/they) and I believe that therapy is for everyone, at any time, regardless of stressors in our environment. I received my MSW from St. Louis University '17 and my Doctor of Education from Western Illinois University '25. I look forward to working with anyone who is seeking to better themselves, understand their way of thinking, and how to navigate the stress in their lives.

My therapy room is a space where you don’t have to explain yourself. You can show up, fully and authentically, without the need to code-switch or justify your experiences. Our sessions are a dedicated time for you to be heard and understood without judgment.

Life can be difficult, but remember you have the power to change it. Your journey is not dictated by your circumstances but rather by how you interpret them and react to them. Over the years, I have helped may people change the direction of their lives. A little insight into your true feelings and emotions can help shift things for you in a major way. I have assisted with general stress from day-to-day life, anxiety, trauma, adhd , marital problems and achieving a work life balance.
