Mackenzie Westover

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive environment. I engage in gentle challenging when needed, and will approach all interactions with empathy. When we are working through something challenging, you can expect me to be patient and attentive.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy was piqued through exploring how impactful life experiences can be. Through my work with grief, it has shown me how resilient humans are, and the power of stories. Personally, I am driven by the belief that although experiences can shape us, people are more than their experiences and symptoms.

My goals for you

I view therapy as a collaboration. Together, we will set goals that matter to you. Whether it is improving self-esteem, building stronger relationships, or creating a new sense of normal. As we continue our journey and gain new insight, these goals can grow with us. It is important for goals to stay meaningful and supportive to your journey.

Our first session

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other, and explore the reasons in starting your journey. I want to normalize that therapy can be scary, especially, trusting a stranger. My goal is to guide you through this journey and build a supportive, safe, and comfortable environment. This is your journey, so we will move at your pace.
