Mackenzie Lovie, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Mackenzie!

I help people navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, and other mental health challenges. My goal is to meet you where you are and partner with you to build resilience and reach your goals.

My focus

I specialize in helping individuals with anxiety, depression, life transitions, job stress, self-esteem, coping skills, and thought disorders, including psychosis. I am passionate about working with diverse populations from all walks of life.

My approach

I believe everyone has inner strength and tools to be resilient. Sometimes we just need help finding them. I take a trauma-informed approach, drawing from CBT, CPT, DBT, and Animal Assisted Psychotherapy. I tailor my approach to what works best for you, taking into account your specific needs and desires.

My communication style

You can expect me to be client-centered, compassionate, and focused on your strengths. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable to open up and explore. Through cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness, we'll work as a team to help you gain new insights and skills.

My goals for you

My goal is to empower you with tools and self-awareness to overcome current challenges and build long-term resilience. I want to help you gain fresh perspective, break unhelpful patterns, heal from past wounds, and move forward with renewed clarity, confidence, and peace.

Our first session

We'll get to know each other and build trust. I'll ask what brought you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. We'll discuss your background, strengths, and current challenges. My aim is to make you feel heard, understood, and supported as we create a plan for your unique goals.
