Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. Beginning or continuing therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, validated, and genuinely understood.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Registered Art Therapist (ATR) with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship concerns, and other life stressors. I have a particular interest in supporting LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent clients. I am also a mother with extensive clinical experience working with children, teens, and their families.

I am here to help. I have a passion for encouraging people to live their best lives and aim to create a safe, down-to-earth therapeutic space tailored to your unique needs - whether that includes deepening self-understanding, developing practical tools, gaining clarity in one or more areas of your life, or simply having a genuinely supportive place to talk, process, and reflect. My goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply while developing practical strategies to navigate life's challenges.

While every person's journey is unique, many clients report feeling more hopeful, confident, and emotionally grounded as they begin the therapeutic process. Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and never judged.

For more than a decade, I've worked with children, teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and everyday stress. I believe that the foundation of successful therapy is a genuine, trusting relationship. I take the time to get to know you, meet you where you are, and tailor treatment to your unique needs and goals.

Clients often describe me as warm, compassionate, and easy to talk to. They appreciate that I balance listening and validation with practical tools they can begin using in their daily lives. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, we'll work together at a pace that feels right for you. My hope is that you'll leave each session feeling heard, supported, and equipped with strategies to help you move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

As a therapist rooted in Buddhist principles, my approach respects the innate wisdom each individual possesses. I believe clients are their own best experts in healing, and my role is to support them in uncovering their truths and navigating their journeys toward healing and self-discovery.

I hold a Master's in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from New York University, which has enriched my understanding and practice of therapeutic techniques. I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Within this sanctuary, we work collaboratively to shift perspectives, fostering greater happiness and joy.

Ultimately, my deepest aspiration as a therapist is to facilitate a healing environment where individuals feel seen, heard, and valued.

I’m Magenecka, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Master of Science in Nursing and several years of nursing experience. I care for adults ages 18 and older throughout Massachusetts via telehealth, supporting concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and trauma-related symptoms. Whether you’re seeking support for the first time or looking for the right fit, you deserve to feel heard and welcomed without judgment. I believe your care should reflect who you are, not just your diagnosis.

I am a warm, friendly person who essentially likes everyone I meet. I make meaning in my life through relationships with family, friends and any person passing through. I am a lover of animals and nature. I love the ocean and have recently relocated to a beach town. I have had the pleasure of connecting with just about every client I have worked with over 28 years and I consider that a privilege and a strength.

About Marc Maccini, LMHC

Helping you find your voice and find your way.

If you feel "stuck"—whether in your career, your relationships, or your own skin—you aren't alone. Often, the path forward isn't about working harder, but about finding the right tools to navigate life with more confidence and clarity. I specialize in helping individuals break through those plateaus, develop firm assertiveness skills, and reclaim their sense of direction.

Background: I earned my Master of Education (M.Ed) from the University of Massachusetts and am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). My background in both education and the arts allows me to bridge the gap between clinical expertise and real-world relatability.
