Macy McClung, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Macy!

Welcome to my Rula practice! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses an intersectional and holistic approach to support clients in their mental health journeys. I do not overly focus on diagnosis and what is "wrong" with someone, but seek to help a person grow their strengths and make sense of the challenges they face.

My focus

I mainly work with clients navigating trauma, ADHD, anxiety, and stress. I specialize in supporting individuals who are processing difficult past experiences, feeling overwhelmed in the present, or seeking more clarity and direction in their lives.

My approach

My practice is rooted in empathy, trust, and a belief in each person's capacity for growth and resilience. I use evidence-based practices like EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and many more. I see therapy as a partnership that honors your voice and adapts to your evolving needs.

My communication style

I listen deeply, ask thoughtful questions, and hold space without judgment. I'm not afraid to gently challenge patterns that may be holding you back, always at your pace, and with your goals in mind.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path into this field began with seeking a therapist for my own mental health journey. This experience, and community-based work, deeply shaped my values: accessibility, empathy, and the chance to heal in a space that feels safe and empowering.

My goals for you

Together, we'll clarify what matters most to you and identify the internal and external tools that can help you get there. I integrate practical strategies, emotional insight, and trauma-informed techniques to support symptom relief and sustainable change.

Our first session

In our first session, I’ll ask questions to get a sense of what’s bringing you in, what challenges you’re facing, and what you’re hoping to get out of therapy.
