LGBT therapists in Norwood, MA

I’m Mackenzie, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping children, adolescents, and adults find balance, clarity, and confidence through compassionate, evidence-based care. I believe mental health treatment should feel personal, not clinical.

Welcome! As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I have worked with adults in a multitude of settings including residential, community, outpatient, and emergency departments. I have extensive experience working with individuals experiencing challenges around anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship issues, self-esteem, and life transitions. I have special interest in women's mental health. I bring transparency, authenticity, and creative problem solving to the therapeutic relationship.

Are you having difficulty adjusting to a new environment, relationship, identity, or phase of life? Do you overanalyze social interactions or struggle to connect with others? I have worked in community mental health, college counseling, and private practice settings. I work with adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, life transitions and relational concerns. As a queer-identified therapist, I am also dedicated to working with LGBTQ+ folks, and affirming of kink and ENM/polyamory as well.

Searching for a therapist is the first step toward a more resilient version of yourself. As an LGBTQIA+ Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, I provide a space rooted in respect, sensitivity, and radical compassion. Whether you are navigating the heavy weight of burnout, the complexities of trauma, or the daily strain of anxiety and depression, I am here to help you find your footing. Transformation isn’t linear—there will be setbacks—but if you are ready to invest in yourself, I am ready to support you in every stage of the process.

Life can be overwhelming, and we all experience times of uncertainty, imbalance, or emotional pain. You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. Seeking support is a brave and meaningful step toward greater well-being. For over 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of assisting adults and teens work through depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, chronic stress, grief, and trauma.

I’m here to help you access inner strengths and develop new strategies. Together we’ll create a plan to reach your goals.
